In today’s episode I am sharing my client Danielle’s amazing transformation. Being a single mom like myself, all I wanted for her was to make her life easier by getting rid of her pain. When we met, she was having chronic hip pain, tingling and numbness in her neck and shoulders, and was always uncomfortable. She did weekly chiro, massage, yoga..she felt like she had tried everything. Once we started working on correcting her imbalances, her hip pain was GONE IN 4 WEEKS! After 12 weeks of working with me, she has NO PAIN AT ALL and feels like a person again. <3 Tune in to hear her story now.

Stay Strong,

Brianne

Do you have low back, hip, or glute pain? Have you been told that one of your legs is shorter/longer? I see signs like this in Dental Hygienists every single week. Because you sit all day AND often lean either forward or to the side, your body develops muscle imbalances. This is because overtime, your pelvis becomes misaligned -either anteriorly, posteriorly, or laterally tilted. Each of these leads to having muscles that are overused and other muscles that are weak. These imbalances compound overtime and will only lead to further pain and additional compensations. Listen in to hear the most common lower body imbalances and how to correct them!

Do you feel like you have muscle tightness/tension but aren’t sure how to fix it? Maybe you have poor flexibility or range of motion…and or pain. All these are signs that you have muscle imbalances. Recently when Stephanie Botts had me as a guest on her podcast, she asked me what the common imbalances in RDHs were. Well there are many and some are overlooked so I wanted to go over the most common ones I see. In this episode I am sharing common signs/indicators that you have upper body muscle imbalances and how to remediate them.

Has your chiro told you that you have one leg shorter? Do you have low back pain, glute pain, or sciatica on one side? This is because you have a lateral pelvic tilt. This happens from leaning to one side while you are practicing. And on top of that, if you are a mom, you hold your kid on one hip for years and your body adapts to this position. This leads to muscle imbalances that need to be corrected otherwise they are compounding over time. We need to assess what muscles are tight and what muscles are weak so that we can build a solid foundation to have a strong, stable body. Tune in now to learn more!

Being a fit chick in my 40s, there are a lot of habits that I do daily (and have for years) without hesitation. Since I’ve been in fitness for quite some time, these habits have become second nature to me, probably like a hygienist and flossing:] but I realize that this isn’t the case for everyone. And since everyone's life is different, what works for me might not work for you. However, habits compound over time and in fitness, it’s the little things that make a big difference. So today I wanted to share my 5 non-negotiables as a fit chick in her 40s so that you can gain some insight as to what habits might be good to double down on for optimal health.

Stay Strong,
