Running has always been an important part of my life. I am someone who is blessed to enjoy my favorite activity in my 60's. In order to do so I have had to continue to learn. It is the learning process that I would like to share with others. After falling off a roof and breaking my ankle in the year 2000, I continued to run, but by compensating for the ankle I developed knee problems. After having my ankle surgically repaired the knee problems persisted. I was then told by an orthopedic surgeon that I should not run anymore. The results of an MRI indicated narrowing of joint spaces and degenerative changes occurring. That's when I began to search for answers. This lead me to an ultra-runner who was familiar with the Feldenkrais
Method (R) He was able to help me through my knee problems. I now, not only continue to be able to run some 12 years later, but I can run further than when I was 20. Though I am not a competitive runner I have enjoyed running many half marathons, 2 Marathons and 2 50ks. I've been an ACE Certified Personal Trainer since 1999 and a CAPTE Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant since 2010. I am currently an Authorized Student Awareness Through Movement (R) teacher and will graduate as a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner in 2014.
