Poor positioning and movement habits in activities at work, at home, or while exercising

increases your risk of pain, inactivity, career-compromising injury, loss of income,

premature aging, and limited physical function. 

 

If you’ve tried other options to heal your pain, prevent injuries, reduce physical tension,

or optimize performance, but are less than satisfied with the results,

I’ll find the underlying issues and we'll reverse them together.

Services

I provide SETUPSTRONG™ services at almost any location globally

or at my office in New York City.

What people are saying about

Logo_2.jpg

“Pamela has a knack for translating science into simple steps to eliminate common causes of back, knee, hip, and shoulder pain… I don’t know of anyone better equipped to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and popular practice to end preventable suffering due to poor posture and bio-mechanical habits.”

"I had always thought that my hunched shoulders were genetic, but Pamela made me see that the way I sit and hold myself, right down to my foot placement, was contributing to this rounded shape. Even after the first lesson, I already felt more lifted, more integrated and more at ease."

“I've been astonished at [Pamela's] abilities to figure out an individual's underlying habits...which cause a wide variety of physical problems. She has a remarkable ability to work with people of all ages to affect long-lasting change in their functional status (e.g., improved balance, pelvic floor rehabilitation), reduced pain levels, and safety from injury in activity.”

My Personal Guarantee

If within the first session you don’t feel better with less pain or more strength (e.g., in your core, back, shoulder, buttocks, balance, or coordination), or have a straighter or taller appearance, I will waive my hourly rate for that session.*
