“I save lives!” Claire said partly joking, with an undertone of serious devotion, when I asked her to describe her treatment for her patients.

She treats them with two different types of approach:
•    short term to relieve pain
•    long term for correction

The frequency depends on the issue that she has to correct, most of them coming from repetitive motion. Read More

You can tell when people are excited about what they do in the way they talk about it, their eyes light up as they explain to you their new goals and desires….

When I met Lisa Neilsen I felt this immediate energy radiate from her. I didn’t know her back in the days when she used to grind away in the corporate apparatus, but I can imagine her putting in extensive hours day in and day out to the eventual point of exhaustion. This is often the case with so many of us. What are we chasing really? Even as wonderful as it can be for those that find their true purpose within the mechanics of Corp Inc., Read More

It was not a surprise when it happened: after training for a few weeks, plus having just taken up kayaking for the first time, and staying busier than ever during these wonderful summer months, my body had built up immense pressure. Suddenly, I was down for the count…feeling sore, exhausted.

All at once I felt a tremendous weight just sitting on top of my shoulders. One of my new clients recommended I visit Injae Choe, PhD LMT. I have tried different modalities of acupressure combined with massage in the past, but the setting and style that Injae has created is minimal, and calming. A firm mattress with a few strategically located pillows on the floor is all that’s needed. No decor, pictures, distractions, just a focused and exceptional treatment. Read More

In an article with GLOW SPRING ‘10 The Magazine About Beauty, Health and Wellness, Dr. Mantione eloquently explains his theory about dealing with pain. Below is an excerpt from that article.

“Imbalance is pain or injury waiting to happen. My focus on prevention means that I don’t just backtrack with clients once they have sustained an injury. Instead, I encourage regular tune-ups to re-calibrate. I spend an hour with each patient performing a head to toe evaluation, during which time I check flexibility and re-balance the body where needed: bones, spine, muscles. I can always find some type of imbalance in the body. Whether or not you realize it, your body needs a regular check-up. Read More

“Do you exercise alone or do you work with a trainer?” I get this question fairly often from my clients. I guess they want to know if I also endure the same physical strain that I impose on them. The answer is always the same: I prefer working with someone, because very few people can push themselves to the same level of intensity while alone than working with a trainer. Plus, it gives me the added comfort to know that there’s someone by my side spotting me and checking on the smaller details of my form.

I recently began working with Anne Marie and it has been a very enjoyable training routine. During each workout, Anne pays close attention to my body’s needs, discomforts and weaknesses. Read More
