I'm Heather. I have experienced more than two decades of chronic, debilitating pain and increasingly problematic functional limitations. I have lived a lifetime with significant difficulty sitting, standing, lying down, and engaging in the types and levels of physical activities that interest me. These limitations have impacted my basic human functions such as being able to sleep, stand in line, and sit down to work on a computer and to drive.
Common treatments that everyone has heard of kept me going but really, my life was about getting pasted together to make it until the next appointment.
I have found the combination of clinical somatic exercise and postural rehabilitation to be the most effective treatment for my chronic pain. The result has been life-changing. The improvement in my pain levels and functional limitations have been significant and lasting. Even better, these treatments are self-directive so help is available when I need it.
My goal is to help others who may have resigned themselves to a life where pain and limitation play into every choice they make to do or not do something. I know how chronic pain impacts you besides just the pain you feel at the body site.
