How Assisted Stretching Healed My Hip Pain

Why am I so passionate about Assisted Stretching?

You might be wondering that… what makes me so committed to the cause of sharing Assisted Stretching with the world?

It’s because I’ve personally experienced the miracle of Assisted Stretching.

In 2017, I injured my hip.

I fell while bowling during a game at my Ladies Bowling League. If you know me, you know I take my bowling very seriously!

I knew I had done something serious to my hip when I woke up the next morning and could barely walk.

The pain ran from my hip to my low back, and it was INTENSE.

For 6 weeks, I wasn’t able to teach my weekly Barre and Step group exercise classes at the YMCA.

I tried just about everything to ease the pain, including chiropractic visits and massages.

I got some relief, but nothing truly worked.

In fact, I could barely get around! My husband had to help me walk from the car into the doctor visits—I couldn’t go anywhere on my own, and I felt completely helpless!

One morning, I noticed the roller stretching tool that my boys had given me for Christmas in the corner of my bedroom, still in its packaging.

I decided then to give it a try.

After a few days of using this roller, I began noticing results. I was astounded!

I couldn’t believe it... I finally had relief!

I had experienced, firsthand, the amazing benefits of Assisted Stretching.

Since then, it has been my mission to share Assisted Stretching with you!

So many of my students have come to be believers in Assisted Stretching after experiencing results themselves. I want that for you, too!

If you’re local to the Nashville and Brentwood area, you can join me for a group class or private session.

No matter where you are in the world, you can begin benefitting from a daily stretch routine through my free Stretch At Home video series or Daily Pause Online Workshop.

Once you begin incorporating Assisted Stretching into your daily routine, you’ll begin to understand why I am so passionate about it!

She Didn't Have to Quit Her Job + 2 More Stretching Success Stories

I’ve seen lives changed from Stretch Therapy.

My own life — and the lives of my students.

Here are a 3 success stories from my students:

From Feet Pain to Relief: A Stretching Success Story

Most everyone that I work with, privately or in a group class, has a story about how they wound up seeking Stretch Therapy to relieve some form of pain in their body.

For some, stretching is a last resort effort to avoid surgery.

Some want to avoid injuries so they can stay active.

Some just want to feel good in their body all the time.

Some of my students have become so tight that they can hardly move — so they move less and less.

I always know my private student’s stories because we spend a lot of time together. I don’t always know the stories of the many students who attend my classes at my studio or at the local YMCA that I teach at.

A few weeks ago, at the end of my stretch class at the Y, a man approached me to ask me if he could tell me his story.

4 Holiday Health Hints to Keep Your Body Happy

Holidays are here… and too often, in all the busyness, we can forget to take care of our bodies! Here are 4 easy ways to keep your body happy this holiday season.

It Doesn't Come in a Bottle

This is a really hard question to ask, but…

Are you addicted to Ibuprofen?

If the answer is “yes,” then you are in good company because so many people are.

I have decided to write about it in hopes that this will give people hope that they can find alternative ways to deal with pain and feel better in their mind and body!

I have students that tell me that they have to take Ibuprofen before they work out in order to go through movements without pain.

Could it be magic?

Could “it” be magic? I can’t seem to get this question out of my head. You see, I have a new private student who is an avid golfer. She loves it and seems to be a bit competitive with her fellow golfers.

At our first session, I told her that stretching would improve her golf game.

She looked a me with skepticism, but said “well, if you think so, I hope so, I’ll give it a try.”

She has been stretching with me for 4 weeks now. Yesterday, she casually mentioned to me that she had her best golf game ever the day before.

Hydrate... and then hydrate some more!

Hydration is essential to life!

Think about it…

Every human, every animal, every plant, every tree, every blade of grass needs water to survive. If it doesn’t get enough, it shrivels, dries up, and dies.

What does hydration have to do with stretching, you ask?
