As a physical therapist with 25+ years of out-patient experience, manual therapy training early in my career allowed me to become proficient in putting joints back in alignment. The problem was, the patient's I saw on Friday afternoons showed up Monday with the same bones out of alignment.The problem was not the joint misalignment, it was the faulty loading patterns that were causing the joint misalignment. In 2005 I got Polestar Pilates certified and was recruited to run Polestar Denver. I started progressing patients into Pilates Allegro maintenance classes. This solution worked well long-term only for those that had the wellness budget to take 2 Pilates classes a week. Home compliance was a challenge.In 2013, we procured a contract with Denver Fire Department to be their exclusive PT provider. The main objective was to reduce re-injury rates. We created a mat-based neutral spine-oriented fitness program that bridged a gap between what traditional physical therapy was providing and the cross-training workouts firefighters were doing at the firehouse. In 2015 we created the Healthy Posture System which combined proprietary joint clearing techniques with 6 levels of neutral spine conditioning to ensure all strengthening exercises were performed from healthy posture.In 2016 we were asked by Centeno-Schultz Clinic if we could have their out-of-town clients go through the program before a procedure to help them best recover post=procedure. In 2018 we launched the Healthy Posture Club (HPC), our telehealth platform. The HPC provides a complete digital neutral spine conditioning solution for those suffering from a nagging musculoskeletal injury that have not responded to traditional treatments. Clients are screened by a physical therapist and leveled. They then start weekly digital neutral spine conditioning workouts. Progression is based on demonstrated competencies. We closed our brick-and-mortar clinic in Denver this past April because the clients that were going through our program digitally were progressing farther and faster than those receiving manual therapy in the clinic. I am personally on a mission to share the power of neutral spine conditioning and educate the medical world how to best provide the level of care digitally. Any rehabilitation specialist can become a reseller of the HPC.Injury management is easy, long term injury management and prevention requires effective communication management, a skilled eye and structured neutral spine conditioning that conditions the nervous system to function from healthy posture.
