The way you hold your body during exercise will carry over to how your body will hold itself throughout the day. The deep muscles that are responsible for your posture need to be consciously activated 25% throughout the day, allowing your movements and positioning to be more efficient. This consciousness is called body awareness and is applied at the computer, waiting in line, and yes, even exercising!

I highly recommend working with Alison. Her knowledge of body mechanics and musculoskeletal health is far superior to other PT's and health professionals I've encountered.

I love to run in the mornings. Lately my 54 y/o knee didn't like it as much as I do. Alison @ Synergy PMPT has been great. She found that there was no permanent damage and designed a stretching and exercise regimen to get me back on the road, Even during the pandemic, we safely met once in person and from there on, we were able to do online "zoom like" conferences to adjust my routine to keep me safe, healthy & strong.
Thank you Alison!

I also liked that she had a 3-dimensional model so that I could see what she was talking about. She worked the affected muscles intensely and then followed up by showing me specific exercises to do during the day to keep those areas stretched out. Not only did I
