After years of dealing with chronic low back pain I began going to Dr. Lisa Ruiz. a chiropractor at Downtown Seattle Chiropractic Center and a yoga practitioner at Yogapractiks . Lisa has helped me manage my low back pain with adjustments and advice on stretches that I could do to maintain the alignment.
When I saw that Lisa was offering Yogapractiks classes - one on the low back, sacrum and hips and the other on the upper back, neck and shoulders - I eagerly signed up. The classes were small so Lisa could give each student individual attention. I learned that we all have unconscious patterns that were contributing to my low back pain. Through the classes I became aware of these unconscious patterns and then with Lisa's guidance I was able to begin to reinforce new alignment and movement patterns. I'm now taking individual Yogapractiks sessions with Lisa. These sessions coupled with my chiropractic adjustments have helped me maintain a healthy body and to know when I do feel discomfort what to do about it. read more
