(No online sessions) I remember the frustration even at a young age of being sidelined from doing what I loved. My Mom also had Post Polio Syndrome, so I got to witness first hand the impact of poor health management on an entire family when outcomes and education are not optimal for the client. I realized my Mom had to try and figure out how to maintain her fitness on her own, as well as juggling the fear of possibly injuring her susceptible joints. While she has found ways to keep kayaking, biking, and walking to keep healthy, she could've done it with much less fear if she had a guide. Right out of High School I knew I wanted to be a Physical Therapist, but I've always had a love for the weight room and the spirit for increasing performance without the nagging injuries that prevent you from being consistent with your workouts. I completed my Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy at Husson University. I then moved to Greenfield, MA where I had the opportunity to complete a 1 year residency in Physical Therapy Orthopedics at Baystate Franklin Medical Center and Springfield College. After that we moved to Boston and attended a 2 year fellowship in complex spine conditions at the Institute of Orthopeadic Manual Therapy in Woburn, MA with a focus on patient communication and hands on treatments. I also received my certificate as a strength and conditioning specialist while in Boston. I had to opportunity to work the MIT men's basketball team, local Gaelic football teams, athletes from surrounding colleges in Boston, and members of the Celtics dance team. Maybe you're working out for yourself, or maybe you're doing it for your family, but I am so excited and proud to be a part of your health and wellness journey! Credentials:
- Doctor of Physical Therapy
- Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist through the APTA
- CSCS through the NSCA
- Orthopedic Manual Therapist through the Institute of Orthopeadic Manual Therapy

If you work with your hands or lift heavy things for a living... this one's for you.

You push through every single day.

But no matter how hard you work, your back never feels like it recovers.

You go home exhausted, wake up stiff, and do it all over again.

That's not weakness. And it's not just the job.

Here's what's actually happening: if your center of gravity is sitting too far forward, your lower back is already squeezing hard just to keep you upright.

So by the time you go to lift anything, your back has nothing left to give.

It was already exhausted before your day even started.

The fix isn't to lift less or work less.

It's learning how to move your center of gravity back so your back can actually recover.

And so your hips and the rest of your body can start doing the work they were supposed to be doing all along.

That's the kind of thing we break down regularly here at Premier Rehab & Training.

Follow us for more on how to actually get rid of the root cause of your pain, not just manage it.

04/01/2026

Everyone keeps saying it's just part of getting older.

But what if it isn't?

We work with people who have been living with hip and back pain for 10, 20, sometimes 30 years.

People who have tried everything and slowly accepted that this is just their life now.

It doesn't have to be.

The norm for aging shouldn't be giving up the things you love.

It should be finding out why the pain started in the first place and actually addressing it.

That's what we do at Premier Rehab & Training.

When we find the root cause and start correcting the movement patterns around it, people get out of the downward spiral.

Even after decades of pain.

Most active adults with back pain are told the same things:

Stretch more. Engage your core. Treat where it hurts.

But those strategies usually address the symptom — not the reason the pain started in the first place.

What we often see in the clinic: the low back is working overtime because other areas of the body aren't moving well.

Feet. Hips. Ribs.

When those areas don't move the way they should, the back compensates and no amount of stretching or crunches will fix that.

That's why strengthening the wrong pattern just pushes you further in the wrong direction. And why treating only the painful spot gives temporary relief… but the pain keeps coming back.

We start by figuring out why the back is being overworked in the first place...

Then treat the whole body to change how you move.

Follow us for real solutions that go beyond the pain.

If your low back keeps flaring up no matter how much you stretch, adjust, or strengthen it… it might not be your low back at all.

Most people are chasing symptoms, not solving the cause.

When your center of gravity is off, your low back is forced to work overtime.

Your hips stop doing their job.

And that tension keeps coming back every time you train.

So you keep spending money. Keep trying new fixes. Keep ending up in the same spot.

The shift happens when you stop treating the pain and start fixing what is driving it.

Real relief comes from restoring how your body moves as a system, not just attacking the sore area.

If you are tired of temporary fixes and want to finally handle the root cause,

If you've been living with back pain and feel like you've already tried everything... WE HEAR YOU!

And we want you to know that's actually one of the most common things we hear from the people we end up helping the most.

The truth is, most people who come to us have already been to PT.

They've seen a chiropractor.

They've done the stretches and the exercises.

And they still hurt.

Not because those things don't have value.

But because none of it addressed why the pain was there in the first place.

At Premier Rehab & Training, that's exactly where we start.

The root cause.

When that gets addressed the way people describe it is less like treatment and more like finally getting an answer they've been looking for.

If that resonates with you, hit follow.

We share real patient stories, honest education, and practical advice for people who are done just managing their pain and ready to actually fix it.

03/30/2026

If you've tried PT or chiro before and you're still hurting — you didn't fail.

The approach did.

Here's what most people don't realize: the root cause of your pain is almost never where the pain actually is.

So when providers only treat the area that hurts, you get relief.

But it doesn't last. Because nothing actually got fixed.

That's the difference in what we do at Premier Rehab & Training.

We start every new patient with a free discovery visit — not to sell you on anything, but to get you clear on what's actually causing your pain and whether we're the right fit to fix it.

No guessing. No band aids. Just a real plan with real measurements so you know you're actually moving in the right direction.

Warmer weather will be here before you know it…

Which means more running. More miles. More time outside.

And for a lot of runners that also means the same injury showing up again.

Calf. Knee. Hip.

Something that “flares up” every season.

Most people think they just need to stretch more…

Or strengthen the area that hurts.

But most running injuries don’t start where you feel them.

They come from how your body is controlling movement as a whole.

If you can’t keep your foot → knee → hip → shoulder stacked while you run,
your body drifts… compensates… and eventually breaks down.

So you rest it.
You rehab it.
You try again next season.

And the cycle repeats.

That’s why we focus on rebuilding control through the full system not just chasing the symptoms.

Follow us to learn how we help runners in Maine stay consistent and run without setbacks this season.

You’re doing the right things…

Working out. Staying active. Trying to take care of your body.

But something still feels off.

One side tighter.
One movement weaker.
That quiet thought in the back of your head…

“Am I making this worse?”

Most people assume they need to stretch more…

Or just push through it.

But when your body starts compensating, doing more of the same thing doesn’t fix it.

It just reinforces the pattern.

You don’t need to stop being active.

You need to understand what your body is actually doing and why.

That’s how you stay strong and feel confident in your body long-term.

Follow us to learn how we help active adults find the root cause and keep doing what they love.

For a lot of active people, this is where things get confusing.

Exercise usually helps your back feel better.

Sitting still usually makes it feel worse.

So the assumption becomes: “I just need to work out more.”

But training more doesn’t automatically mean moving better.

As fatigue builds, your body often starts borrowing motion from places that are already working too hard and the low back ends up picking up the slack.

That’s when flare-ups show up, even in people who are consistent, motivated, and doing their best.

Back pain in active adults isn’t a failure of effort.

It’s usually a movement skill that hasn’t been taught yet.

And that’s something that can be learned.

✨ Patient of the Week ✨

Low back, neck, and shoulder pain were showing up daily.

Even short periods of work or simple activities could trigger flare-ups that lasted for days.

Workouts felt unpredictable, and even caring for their daughter became difficult.

After just working 6 weeks with Premier Rehab and Training, they’re back to working out, playing with their daughter, and moving without constantly worrying about pain.

What changed wasn’t pushing through it.

It was understanding what their body actually needed to move well again.

Stories like this are why we do what we do!

Honest question — and we ask it because we care:

Are you putting off taking care of yourself because life is too busy, or because part of you is afraid of what you might find out?

Either way, we get it. And either way, we can help.

At Premier Rehab & Training, we work with real people living real lives; not ideal schedules and perfect circumstances.

People who've already tried traditional PT or chiropractors and walked away with temporary relief at best.

They didn't fail. The approach did.

We do something different.

Instead of chasing the pain, we figure out why it's there and we actually fix it.

So you can still be the one running after your kids. Not watching from the sideline.

DM us and we'll figure out together if we can help.
