Retraining for Focused Fitness

"A few years ago, I injured my lower back in, of all things, a gentle yoga class. I was a very active sports enthusiast who also taught yoga on the side for fun. Because of the pain and soreness in my back, I had to stop almost all my activities. I would play nine holes of golf and then have to lay down for the rest of the day, followed by a week of chronic pain. Then my chiropractor referred me to Krisen. Through her assessment of my body's movement, Krisen was able to isolate problematic movements and weak muscles. She was also able to offer an explanation for my pain, something no other practitioner could provide. After doing the daily customized workout she designed for me, my condition improved greatly and I was able to return to many of my previous athletic activities. Krisen has been a lifesaver for working with chronic pain; she was able to help where nobody else could."

"Krisen is a miracle worker. I came to her after I developed exercise-induced cramps in my calves and I could only walk for seven minutes before the cramps started and the pain would become so unbearable I couldn’t continue. I had seen multiple doctors and specialist who performed expensive tests, but none of them had a diagnosis. Krisen diagnosed the problem in our first session, explained it clearly and gave me custom exercises to do daily that have enabled me to steadily increase my periods of cramp-free walking. Thanks to Krisen, I was able to take a long hike yesterday for the first time in a year."

“I am 85. I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. My knees were so painful and weak. I am now in no pain except when there is a flare-up and then the pain is minimal. Krisen’s precise and correct assessment of my situation, followed by very simple workouts in the beginning, has created miracles in how I am able to move. She said that not being able to go up and down stairs was a situation I had created in my mind.  She knows what to do with that also, to “retrain the brain”. My workouts have progressed. I am walking freely every day now, riding a stationary bicycle, and climbing stairs (carefully with the handrails). When you are not in pain and able to do what you want within reason, your body will actually look better, too.”

“Krisen has been helping me work on a hip/lower back issue. I've worked with several PT, massage and acupressure providers in the past, but Krisen is way ahead of them at understanding muscles and movement. The Pilates platform allows her to build a program that helps you stretch/strengthen the problem areas. Thank you!”

"Krisen Day is a genius regarding the human anatomy and the magic of movement. I have MS and have worked with many practitioners over the years — none were as knowledgeable or helpful as Krisen. Her gentle, non-intrusive wisdom has helped me to reduce my pain, and, best of all, she’s kept me walking!"

“Krisen's extensive knowledge has improved my posture, provided me with a broader range of motion and activated muscles that allow me to accomplish tasks that used to cause me a great deal of pain and discomfort. Thank you for your observant nature and for sharing your gift, facilitating my healing physically mentally and emotionally. It's truly been life changing!!!”

“I really cannot say enough good things about Krisen and her studio . Krisen is highly talented and amazing at what she does helping realign posture, strength, flexibility. I worked with Krisen on various custom programs after my 3rd baby and she really helped me get strong and lean in a way I had not been able to get with traditional exercise and workouts. The studio is such a serene and peaceful retreat. Thank you Krisen for all your help!”

“I feel like you have understood what is going on with my body like nobody else, and I say that after several frustrating attempts where it seemed like people were not paying attention and grasping for answers. You are really good at what you do. Thank you!”

"Thank you for giving me a part of my life back."

"Krisen Day changed my life from the first session I had with her. I’ve gone from a person with almost no mobility to somebody with a daily walking practice. My body works in ways that it hasn’t in years. I’m a big woman, so seeing body workers is a challenge. I want somebody who works with the body I have, not with the skinny body they wished I had. Krisen’s respectful, affirming, supportive body politics have been a breath of fresh air - and encouraged me to keep with a course of activity and movement that was workable and enjoyable. She is a knowledgeable, caring, smart, intuitive and firmly gentle practitioner who reaffirmed my faith in my body’s ability to do what it needs to do, if I would just get out of its way and let it. I can’t sing her praises high enough!"
