Hi, I’m Carol, a Physical Therapist and somatic educator at Montgomery Somatics in Indianapolis. I work with people who feel caught in cycles of pain, tension, and limited movement, especially when the usual advice has not helped.

In our sessions, we look beyond symptoms to understand the pattern underneath, then use gentle, specific hands on work and movement learning to support more comfort and confidence in daily life.If you have a question about what you are feeling or you are not sure what type of support you need, leave a comment or send a message. I’m happy to help you take the next step.

The 30-second Sit-to-Stand test is more than just a leg exercise. It’s a predictor of fall risk, lower body strength, and nervous system coordination.

Ask yourself: Do I really need both hands to help me? Could I do it with one hand, or even with a light touch? Where do my eyes look? Down to the floor? forward? Or can they travel upward along the wall in front of you?

We don’t just work on movement, we retrain the patterns behind it.

Balance isn’t just about strength. It’s a decision-making process your nervous system constantly performs, using input from your eyes, ears, and body.

In balance training, progress doesn’t mean perfection.

It means awareness, adaptability, and resilience.

Start where you are. Here are some helpful progressions: Adjust the width between your feet. Light hands on the wall or countertop.

Note your confidence level. You’re not failing, you’re mapping your way forward.

Gait speed is now considered the ‘6th vital sign.’

Why? Because changes in walking speed predict fall risk, cognitive decline, and even mortality.

Learn how somatic work supports walking patterns and balance at every age.

The nervous system closely monitors the pelvis and its position offers valuable insight into how you move. Is your pelvis level?

Tilted forward, back, or rotated to one side? Your unconscious patterns live here. Awareness is the first step to change.
