Your Athletic Ability Expert

Welcome!

Hi, I am Dr. Shari Miller, a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist by the APTA.

I strongly believe athletic ability is not simply for those under 30--athletic ability is a skill we have throughout life.

The ability to do athletic things, to do hard things, reminds us of our strength and who we are to our core.

There are obstacles that come our way that require coaching and consulting to keep our athletic ability and be our active healthy selves.

For women the most common obstacles are during pregnancy, postpartum and transitioning back into a healthy style as a parent.

For runners the most common obstacles are getting fully back to running after an injury--there is a gap by traditional therapy or PDFs given by doctors to do self rehab.

For busy parents it is the balance of needing mobility and strength to keep up with your kids and teach them not only the sport skills but the character-building skills that require our athletic ability.

My personal goal is to be the lady in her 80s at the local gym doing my thing to stay strong and independent.

I am stubborn by nature and refuse to give up--this means I refuse to give up on you--you have the power and ability to do whatever your goal is--you may just need expert coaching or consulting to get you there.

I am in the top 6% of USA physical therapists in Orthopedics.

I read research weekly--it's my free time passion.

I feel it is my obligation to know any and everything that can get you better results FASTER.

Welcome to my space, if you don't see a training, resource or program that addresses your need send me a DM on one of my socials and let's talk.

Bump Balance: Holistic Wellness for Pregnancy Discomforts

Would you be ecstatic if you could not have back pain, actually sleep at night, and be able to workout?

Because if you could do those things, you know you can do anything.

Unfortunately, pregnancy often comes with some frustrations, including figuring out how to:

Get through the day without back pain;
Stop feeling cranky and short with others because you just are tired of hurting; and
What to do to keep backaches from continuing day after day

Sound familiar?

Another thing...

Are you also really frustrated by the fact that no one has answers besides rest, pain gets worse as the day goes on, and it is hard to keep up with house chores from feeling crummy?

Plus, do you find yourself researching and trying to figure out all the details?:

How do I make my back feel better
When is the best time to stretch
How long do I do each exercise for

One last question...

Do you ever find yourself thinking "after birth all back pain will go away"... or "all stretches are the same"... or "exercise requires energy"?

I know I did!

And finally, to make matters even worse, sometimes (no matter what you do) it just plain feels like this will never end...it makes you wonder how you will be able to handle pain of contractions if the pain in your back continues.

Well let me tell you, I know exactly how you feel because I've been there myself!

When all is said and done, my guess is you really just want to have a healthy lifestyle, workout for stress relief during pregnancy, and feel in control during pregnancy and be ready for labor. Yes?

If this sounds at all like you and your situation, then I'd like to invite you to check out...

Who are you and why should I listen to you?

Hi, I’m Shari, a doctor of physical therapy and Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. I started taking knowledge from exercise science and forming it into wellness programs for my running friends 10 years ago. I saw so many moms struggling with the same aches and issues I did with my first pregnancy. It started me on a mission to change the statistic of 60-80% of pregnant moms having back pain. For over 13 years I have been helping moms chase their kiddos and their goals.

Once I learned about Total Motion Release and saw what this method can do for moms I needed to tell everyone. I have taken the foundations of Total Motion Release and adapted them into a prenatal framework. Every single person in this stretching class finds and chooses the exact motion that needs released on their own body. No generic standard stretch for everyone.

But don't just take my word for it...
