Aligned At EF

I recently had a hip replacement but prior to the procedure I started going back to Easton Fitness to do what I could to assist in my post-surgery rehab. While at the gym I was introduced to Kristen from ALIGNED who happened to be at Easton Fitness when I was working out. After talking with Kristen, I signed up for approximately 10 Mobility Therapeutic sessions, again to assist in my post-surgery rehab, which was my goal. Kristen took the time to explain everything! I found her to be very knowledgeable, professional, and she made every attempt to make the sessions enjoyable, given the condition I was in with my hip. Post-surgery was a great experience as I was up and walking without any assistance (crutches/cane) after 3 days and I owe a lot of my success to Kristen and her Mobility Therapeutic sessions!

I give Kristen my highest recommendation! I began working with her due to pain in my SI joint and forward-head posture. She has helped me tremendously with both in only a few short months. When I started with her, she listened carefully to my explanation of my issues, and she continues to actively listen. She is extremely knowledgeable about how each part of the body works together and introduces new stretches/movements at each session to address both of my issues. She is very careful about how a stretch or movement is affecting me in terms of pain or discomfort and modifies as needed. She also gives me stretches that I can practice at home, and her positive attitude encourages me to do so. She recommended the Serola belt to help with my SI joint pain, and it has been a great tool to use in addition to the yoga stretches/movements. I feel terrific after our hour sessions. She is a consummate professional in every sense. Try her; you won’t be disappointed!

Kristen is awesome! Yoga and stretching are just the beginning of what she does. She asked several questions and explained why my body was tight and in pain. Then she got right in there and stretched me out - she is very hands on, explains what she’s doing and why. She then helped me rebuild my core enough to start working with the trainers and avoid injury. I’m so thankful for Kristen, she got me back in the gym and feeling stronger every day!

I was in significant discomfort from a bulging disk at L5/S1 when I first went to Kristen for treatment and coaching. Her treatment has focused on improving flexibility and increasing core strength. The coaching has been directed towards what stretching and strength work I’m doing outside of Aligned while also building my mind/body connection skills. Today I have minimal discomfort because of improved flexibility and strength along with my developing skills I integrate into my workouts. I still see Kristen for treatment and coaching because her skeletal and muscle knowledge is as vast as any PT I’ve worked with. So grateful for her help and coaching!
