How It Works
1. Establish a Baseline
You'll start by meeting Kristina and discussing your specific pain.
- What hurts?
- What is holding you back?
- What aren't you able to do anymore?
She'll explain the theory behind Posture Alignment Therapy and how it can help. In addition, Kristina will establish a baseline of postural photos against which to measure your progress in future sessions.
You'll begin your first in-person session immediately following.
2. In-Person Sessions
Kristina will use the following methods of discovery to pinpoint dysfunction and compensations exhibited by your body:
- Postural photos
- Hip joint palpation and observation
- Gait analysis
Next, Kristina will make an assessment and create a take-home menu of corrective exercises to help you feel better. She'll guide you in performing each exercise, teaching you correct form. You become part of the healing process by providing feedback on pain levels and perception of your corrected alignment.
3. Your Take-Home Menu
Your customized menu will provide photos and detailed instructions for each exercise as well as personalized notes from Kristina. This routine should be practiced on your own each morning until your next in-person session. You will receive a printed copy of your menu at the end of each session.
You may also access your menu via our free mobile app. In addition to the photos and instructions, the app features:
- Instructional videos on how to properly perform each exercise
- A convenient exercise timer
- A feedback tool which allows you to chart how you feel prior to and following your routine
- Indefinite access to all past menus
You'll feel better after your first visit!
You may have tried other therapies or drug-based treatments for chronic pain which, at best, only work temporarily. This can be discouraging when such pain interferes with your ability to truly thrive. While most treatment methods merely address symptoms or attempt to mask discomfort, Posture Alignment Therapy targets postural issues at the source of chronic pain. Embracing this method has enabled thousands of people just like you to ditch the pills, find an alternative to surgery, and feel better for good!
Client Testimonials
Kristina does superb work. She has helped several of our family members over the course of a number of years, providing relief from pain and increased mobility. We recommend her enthusiastically.
[Kristina] has been life changing for me. I first came to Kristina ... in incredible pain. I found her compassionate and professional. She evaluated my posture and gave me a series of easy exercises and stretches that have helped me get back to a very active, athletic life. Periodically I get a new set of exercises which have resolved issues from trigger finger to sore neck and shoulder muscles. Amazingly, at 56, I have even grown a quarter inch. I'm sure the same thing that caused the growth relieved stress in my back and have given me this pain free life. I live close to the clinic, so I'm able to go in most days to do my exercises. While there a see so many people helped by this method -- getting off pain medication, avoiding surgery, and back to more active lives.
Before starting the program at Pain Free Posture Clinic, my life was absolutely limited by awkward motions. (I had lots of rotation through my body.) After joining Pain Free Posture Clinic I felt enlightened. I wish I had started sooner. Now that I'm attending regular sessions, I'm continually making progress and improvements. I'm doing awesome. I have more physical range of motion and strength. If you're on the fence about joining, know that I wish I had started sooner. Do the work and have fun with it.
In September of 2011 I had Back surgery to open some channels for spinal nerves. Following that surgery I developed some real problems with core strength involving several back muscles. [Kristina] developed a series of exercises (menus) that got me from moving only with a cane to being very mobile again in about 3 to 3.5 months. At that point I knew it was possible for me to get back on the water doing my trick water skiing routines. Each menu has demanded patience and persistence, but in the end it has been well worth it! I plan to continue with maintenance exercises; there is no way that I want to risk the pain and discomfort of last October ever again!
I have been going to Kristina for over 12 years and I am so glad to see her with her own place. I started with her because of hip problems that caused a lot of pain and it was hard to sit for any length of time. Kristina was able to give me exercises that helped and now I don't have pain (unless I don't do the exercises for awhile - so I do keep up). When I had a shoulder problem from repetitive motion 3 years ago, she was able to give me exercises to help with that issue. I go back regularly to get new exercises to keep me motivated and help keep me pain free.
I cannot sing enough praise for Kristina at Pain Free Posture Clinic. She is truly genuine, kind-hearted, and highly skilled at what she does. Through my time with her, she's given me so many helpful tools for relieving tension, pain, and postural imbalances. I highly recommend her to anyone who's having similar issues, especially if methods like traditional physical therapy haven't helped in the past (like me). Kristina genuinely cares for her clients, and it was such a blessing to have met her and spent time working with her. Thank you for all you do, Kristina!
I was diagnosed with hip bursitis about 5 years ago with pain on the outsides of both hips. After several cycles of steroids, physical therapy, and icing I was still suffering from debilitating pain. I began the course of exercises in early January. In February my husband and I went on a trip to Spain. I was averaging 10,000 steps a day! One highlight was a hike with my husband to a mountain top on the southern coast. Something I could have never done just two months before. I began sleeping much better, and the number of migraines started to go down. Posture Alignment will work if you put the effort and time into it.
Two years ago, I broke my leg walking across the street front my house. I was walking with my friend, she tripped and fell. I tried to catch her, but failed. She fell on top of my leg and broke it. I now have a rod that goes [from] my ankle to my knee. Just a tragic accident. I broke my tibia and knee. I was bed ridden for 4 months. 6 months of therapy followed with no improvement. My right knee, hip and, back hurt from the injury. I had a second surgery on my knee for scar tissue. Which I am sure would not have happened if I would have discovered [Kristina] earlier… with the first 4 therapies with [Kristina], I stopped using my cane and didn't feel any more pain in my leg or back. I attribute all my improvement to [Kristina]. I hope that others can find healing as I did. Thank you to Kristina for being so patient and compassionate.
I am 68 years old and thought I might be doomed to pain the rest of my life. After I retired I began experiencing severe upper back pain. Following an evaluation by my doctor he suggested a pain clinic for my degenerative back issues. Not wanting to go the pain management route, I remembered a friend had suggested [posture alignment therapy]. At my first visit about two years ago Kristina listened professionally and assessed my situation. She took pictures and applied the images to her computer program to illustrate the sources of my problem. She carefully assigned a menu of exercises for me to do at home and assured me I could call if I had any questions. Being new to [the therapy], I felt a bit insecure doing exercises on my own until she showed me the convenient app for my phone complete with pictures, timers and instructions for each exercise. At each visit Kristina asks about my current health and assigns a new menu of exercises. I am so happy with the progress I've made with the exercises. I live an active life and seldom experience back pain.
Since spine angle is so important in golf, having your spine aligned makes it much easier to keep your spine angle intact. Good body alignment makes for good golf alignment. Having your body in sync allows all your muscles to participate in the swing. Utilizing your core muscles takes pressure off of your back. Shoulder and hip turn. Your power in your swing comes from making a good turn with both your shoulders and your hips. It would make sense that having your shoulders aligned, and loose, and the same for your hips, would allow for a much wider turn, which in turn would lead to more power for your swing. I had not hit anything other than a wedge for 2 years, back problems and a broken left elbow. Once my pain level decreased through [Posture Alignment Therapy with Kristina] I was able to work on my strength. I have now hit balls once a week for the last 6 weeks. I have been able to hit most of my clubs as far as I was prior to my injuries. The biggest change has come from the stability of my swing. I am able to repeat the same swing with constant spine angle, and a good turn. I am hitting over 90% of shots pure, and my misses have been from not standing close enough to the ball, so even the misses are actually going straight, just a little thin (lower flight trajectory).
