Inside Out Fitness with Tracy

Every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30 – 2:30pm. Starting 3/7/2023

Manage & relieve pain. Create space in your joints and muscles. Stretch & strengthen simultaneously. Strengthen postural muscles that are causing you to slump, slouch and stumble. Become stronger than you’ve ever been. Safely & gently change your body from the inside out, not the outside in. 

Tracy specializes in orthopedic assessment and massage, neuromuscular therapy and sport massage, serving clients for 15 years. This, along with experience in teaching Qi Gong and Tai Qi, led her to develop an approach to safely, yet deeply, affect change in the physical and energetic body. You will learn to use simple rollers and techniques to address myofascial restrictions that keep us out of alignment. You will also be introduced to basic principles of anatomy and movement to empower you to stay mobile, standing tall, and moving with greater comfort and efficiency. Find ease and relief of post-op recovery and/or chronic pain.
