My Story
Itโs been a decade in the making!
As I sat there palpating and releasing a deep neck flexor muscle on the third whiplash client of the day. I began to notice that an uncommon pain in my lumbar area (low back) was beginning to grow in intensity. Suddenly, the sensation of liquid descended from my eye and a stream of tears trickled down my cheek. How long had this pain been going on? Surely I hadnโt denied its existence up to this point. Maybe, I knew all along and just choked it up to the aging process and various physical traumas I had endured over the course of my life. I mean, I was in relatively good health with no pressing medical conditions or acute trauma. For a split second, I contemplated the last few months of working at the chiropractor and the type of work I had been doing on clients. Predominantly seated slightly hunched over with a moderate number of client cases being in the cervical (neck) area. Maintaining this seated position had now re-educated my muscle length and joint alignment into an inefficient position strong enough to fight the forces of gravity. This chronic shortening action was causing adhesions (knots) to form all throughout the bellies of my muscles and surrounding tissues causing other systems of the body ieโฆlymph, blood, nerves, etcโฆ to begin lowering their ability to maintain healthy functions. The goal a balanced relatively pain free body,I thought right? Holding firm to this idea, and prior to the pain I would receive weekly adjustments, a 2 hour massage, and on my off time be active. So why in the world was this pain in existence? Fast forward a few more months and the constant sharp, stabbing, lock your body up pain sat with me in every appointment. Days of being in that dim lit room trying to help alleviate someone elseโs severe pain, while suffering through mine broke me and I became obsessed with defeating this pain and the pain of others. I combed through client soap charts, studies, and textbooks looking for clues. Time passed and the kids birthday party was upon me. For the life of me I didnโt know how I was planning to move the 2 pallets of stone from the part of the yard needed to place the bounce house we were getting for the party. Months of sleepless nights, constant pain, and fatigue were now sown deep into my body, pain was my lifestyle. There was a task at hand! My body began rotating from side to side, I would squat down on one leg in a lunge position and lifting the stones place them in the wagon adjacent myself. It didnโt take long for me to stop and question my ability to accomplish this task through all the pain that was now surging through my lower back. The inability to fight the forces of gravity because of chronic misalignment patterns and lack of postural strength were ever present. โCome on, itโs your childrenโs birthday partyโ I told myself. I began to lift the stones again and I started to feel a burning sensation in my now working legs and lower back; particularly, muscles I hadnโt used in quite sometime ieโฆgluteus (my butt) and deep core muscles. The Epiphany moment came as I arose after uncounted repetitions and there was zero pain in my back. As I stood there pain free, the most free I had felt in months, a flood of information flooded my mind. All those client soap charts and anatomy textbook clues washed over me. I finally understood my pain and thus True Balance Therapy was born. Over the last 10 years Iโve learned various modalities including: anatomy, posture, neurological and exercise courses, which were then compiled and utilized to create a highly effective assessment, manual release technique, and corrective exercise protocol to address a multitude of musculoskeletal issues.
