f poor health management on an entire family when outcomes and education are not optimal for the client. I realized my Mom had to try and figure out how to maintain her fitness on her own, as well as juggling the fear of possibly injuring her susceptible joints. While she has found ways to keep kayaking, biking, and walking to keep healthy, she could've done it with much less fear if she had a guide. Right out of High School I knew I wanted to be a Physical Therapist, but I've always had a love for the weight room and the spirit for increasing performance without the nagging injuries that prevent you from being consistent with your workouts. I completed my Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy at Husson University. I then moved to Greenfield, MA where I had the opportunity to complete a 1 year residency in Physical Therapy Orthopedics at Baystate Franklin Medical Center and Springfield College. After that we moved to Boston and attended a 2 year fellowship in complex spine conditions at the Institute of Orthopeadic Manual Therapy in Woburn, MA with a focus on patient communication and hands on treatments. I also received my certificate as a strength and conditioning specialist while in Boston. I had to opportunity to work the MIT men's basketball team, local Gaelic football teams, athletes from surrounding colleges in Boston, and members of the Celtics dance team. Maybe you're working out for yourself, or maybe you're doing it for your family, but I am so excited and proud to be a part of your health and wellness journey! Credentials:

One of the biggest fears we hear from active adults isn't pain.

It's getting stuck in the same cycle again.

This patient had finally found activities she loved.

Lifting.

Hiking.

Biking.

And was worried she was headed right back toward chronic pain.

After multiple rounds of PT for other issues, she had basically given up on ever feeling better.

Today she's back biking with her husband without knee pain and feeling confident in her body again.

One line from her review stood out to us: "My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner."

Because getting out of pain is great.

But trusting your body enough to keep doing the things you love?

That's the real goal.

If stretching was the answer, you'd probably be better by now.

We see this all the time.

Someone stretches their back.

It might feel better.

But the tightness always comes right back.

So they stretch again.

And the cycle repeats.

The frustrating part is that back tightness doesn't always mean your back actually needs more stretching.

A lot of times, your back is working overtime because something else isn't doing its job.

That's why the better question isn't: "How do I stretch this?"

It's: "Why is my back so tight in the first place?"

Because temporary relief and long-term change aren't the same thing.

And if you've been dealing with this long enough, you know how exhausting it is to feel good for a few days…

Only to end up right back where you started.

"You should never get used to shrinking your world because of back pain."

Our patients tell us they can push through the pain.

What scares them is something bigger.

They're afraid their partner has to slow down because of them.

They're afraid of saying, "You go ahead, I'll catch up."

They're afraid that the weekend hikes they love together become something they used to do.

Because that's how it happens.

First it's skipping the last mile. Then it's choosing easier trails.

Then it's passing on the hiking trip you've talked about for years.

Some people tell themselves... "It's not bad enough yet."

But we see people every day who waited until they forgot what it felt like to enjoy a hike without worrying about their back.

And they all say the same thing.

"I wish I had done something sooner."

If you've started wondering whether your body is becoming the thing that limits the life you and your partner want to live...

Pay attention to this video.

Because sometimes the problem isn't a lack of core strength.

It's the things your body stopped doing a long time ago.

When people think about back pain, they usually think about the pain itself.

But that's rarely what bothers someone the most.

It's the uncertainty.

Not knowing if your back will hold up on the next hike.

Wondering if you'll be able to keep up with your partner.

Questioning whether you're helping yourself by staying active... or making things worse.

That's what stood out to us about this conversation.

This person wasn't just worried about their back.

They were worried about losing access to something they love.

And that's a fear we hear from active adults all the time.

Whether it's hiking in Acadia, working out, traveling, or chasing after kids and grandkids...

The goal isn't just to have less pain.

The goal is to trust your body enough to say "yes" to those things again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Before working with Cameron I had been in physical therapy for about 2 years with little to no progress for thoracic outlet syndrome a.k.a a bad shoulder. I had been told that there was very little I could do and that the only option would be a surgery, that might not work, that would remove several muscles and a rib.

I was always told by my coaches growing up that the best athletes are the ones that aren’t afraid to try something new, or to look silly. I had reached a point where I had tried everything else and I had nothing else to lose. I had watched Cameron’s TikTok page and felt confident that this might be the key to unlocking a full recovery.

My life now is filled with Joy. I am able to participate in things that I had been told might not be possible to do again, such as rock climbing, sprinting, throwing, lifting, biking, etc. I am a PE teacher and am a very active person by nature, having competed in powerlifting and other endurance events in the past. I am able to perform my job well and still impress my students.

Above all else, I feel like myself again."

The biggest mistake we see with back pain?

Getting the same exercises as everyone else.

Back pain at Week 1 shouldn't be treated the same as back pain at Week 6 or Week 18.

And your plan should match your goals.

That's why our patients aren't handed a generic sheet of exercises and sent to the corner.

We work 1-on-1 to understand your goals, uncover why your pain keeps coming back, and build a plan that progresses with you every step of the way.

Because lasting results happen when stop treating the symptoms and you address the root cause.

If you're tired of chasing temporary relief and want to find out what's really driving your back pain

DM us "BACK" and we'll help you determine if we're the right fit to help you get back to doing what you love.

One of the most frustrating parts about chronic back pain isn't the pain itself.

It's when you start to think you're finally making progress...

Only for the pain to come right back.

A massage helps.

A stretch helps.

An adjustment helps.

Maybe even physical therapy helps.

For a little while.

But if you keep finding yourself back in the same place weeks or months later, it may not be because you're doing the wrong things.

It may be because the reason your back hurts hasn't actually been addressed yet.

That's why we spend so much time helping active adults understand *why* their pain keeps coming back instead of just chasing temporary relief.

Because temporary relief and long-term change aren't the same thing.

And if you've been stuck in the cycle long enough, you know exactly what we're talking about.

✨ Patient of the Week ✨

Nearly a decade of back pain was starting to take the fun out of hiking.

Long hikes often ended with back tightness, and there was always uncertainty about how the body would hold up on the next adventure.

They had already stopped running because of pain and were frustrated that years of treatment hadn't solved the problem.

After working with Premier Rehab and Training, things started changing.

They recently completed a multi-day hiking trip in New Hampshire, hiking 6 miles one day and over 11 miles the next with minimal symptoms.

What changed wasn't avoiding activity.

It was understanding what their body actually needed to move well again.

Stories like this are why we do what we do.

Ever feel like you're constantly chasing the same problem?

Your back tightens up.

You stretch.

It feels better.

Then a few days later...

you're right back where you started.

That's one of the most frustrating parts about recurring back pain.

Not necessarily the pain itself.

The fact that it never seems to stay gone.

That's because tightness isn't always the problem.

A lot of times, it's your body's way of compensating for something else.

And until you understand why your back keeps tightening up in the first place, you'll keep chasing temporary relief instead of lasting change.

That's why one of the first questions we ask isn't: "Where does it hurt?"

It's: "Why is your body working so hard there?"

Because where you feel the problem and where the problem starts aren't always the same thing.

Follow us to learn why where it hurts isn't always the root cause.

Most active adults don't wake up one day and decide to stop hiking, working out, or being active.

It usually happens little by little.

Your back tightens up after a hike.

You skip one workout.

You take a few extra rest days.

You start wondering if certain activities are worth the risk of a flare-up.

And before you know it, pain starts making decisions for you.

That's why our goal isn't just helping someone get out of pain.

It's helping them feel confident in their body again.

Because when you trust your body, you stop thinking about your back all the time.

And you can get back to doing the things you love without constantly wondering how you'll feel tomorrow.
