It was a relief to learn that I can make simple changes That will at least control my pain and possibly prevent further deterioration." Karen M. "Great lower back pain workshop. Expectations met - really exceeded. Much advice I could use right away. Practical ways to move through your typical day with chores." Daryl J. "I loved the program. I had already been doing a version of some of what you showed us, but this was helpful so that I could refine my technique and therefore have better results and less pain. The best thing about it was your explanation regarding WHY this all helps. the discussion of the "neutral" posture and what happens w/ slight flexion or extension was really helpful - I like to know how things work and why I'm doing something, so that made it fit together for me." Mary C.. "...more than exceeded my expectations because the demonstrations were very effective and the handout provided useful exercises." Anthony F. About Roxanne Meldrum PT, ATC As an orthopedic Physical Therapist and certified Athletic Trainer since 1996, my experience has taught me that while Physical Therapy is an effective approach to find the cause of pain and treat it, Physical Therapy’s most powerful benefit is the effective correction of body mechanics to make the wholistic changes necessary to prevent reinjury. Therefore, I started PT Health Academy to offer a novel approach to care, emphasizing instruction of proper mechanics to prevent common injuries from daily tasks or exercise. I have a diverse background in teaching including exercise classes, injury prevention workshops, and college level lab instruction. My areas of clinical interest include low back and neck pain, foot and ankle mechanics, dance and sports medicine, teaching healthy movement patterns, and injury prevention.
