You are not alone in feeling the way that you do. There is an unavoidable link between the physical and emotional struggles we face. Even when we might only be struggling with one or the other, the emotional or the physical, it's often only a matter of time before its counterpart rears its ugly head.

While we intentionally didn't ask any in-depth personal questions for this self-assessment, rest assured, we truly get the issues that are common to so many people, especially as we move out of our youthful early 20s and into our 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. It seems like every stage of life can bring a whole new set of challenges.

We have some special recommendations that we think may address your specific concerns.

Retake

Done with feeling like something is missing from the treatment toolbox? When I started in physical therapy 20+ years ago, I was in a completely unsustainable situation. I knew something was missing.

I was trying to operate in a situation that didn’t allow me to truly embrace or utilize a holistic approach. I knew it worked, because patients were getting better. But I got significant pushback from trying to use it.

In fact, I ended up leaving not 1, but 3 jobs because of it. There just wasn’t an inclusive space for being an integrative physical therapist back in 1998. I felt pretty homeless and alone. I didn’t fit in the yoga world or the healthcare world.

So I decided to change that.

Hi, my name is Ginger. I’ve been teaching continuing education since 2000 and have built 2 successful businesses in the physical therapy and wellness and continuing education space.
