From hitting the metaphorical wall to finding purpose

December 10, 2021 //  by Holly Wallis

Well first let me clarify, that aforementioned wall was actually a car, and I didn’t hit it, it hit me, and hard. In my previous life (my life is now divided into two parts: before the accident, and after the accident), I was a Marketing Manager by day working 50+ hours a week, and a …

When thrown unexpectedly into injury and recovery, there is a time of trial and error with finding what works and what doesn’t to get you back on your feet again. Often this is a very frustrating time, and it can be difficult to figure out how to move again, and most importantly how to move …

The Slippery Slope of Pain

December 10, 2021 //  by Holly Wallis

Last year, 10 years after my accident, marked the point in my recovery where I have been out of pain longer than I was in pain. It seems silly, but that was a very big deal for me. In my mind, it felt like I could start over from zero. Not like it never happened, …

Shoes: The greatest fall risk?

December 9, 2021 //  by Holly Wallis

Footwear has been used since 1600-1200 BC as a way to protect, support, and even dress up the feet. From a protection perspective, shoes keep the feet warm and dry and create a barrier between rough terrain and the skin. As we age, many people start to wear increasingly more supportive shoes in an attempt …

Body Awareness: The danger of being too aware

December 7, 2021 //  by Holly Wallis

Body Awareness is a popular term especially in yoga and Pilates circles, but what does it mean? Some would argue that being “body aware” is having a keen kinesthetic sense of how your body moves and feels in your environment at any point in time.

The Fear Factor: The Anticipation of Pain in Movement

As we move through life, we rarely think of the hundreds of coordinated movements that our body makes each day, let alone how they feel. When a person is in pain, however, every movement can bring on a number of feelings, both emotional and physical. When pain persists over a long period, the mere thought …
