Have you been told…..
Only breathe into your belly
Don’t let your chest move
Shoulders down and back
Stretch your pecs to fix rounded shoulders
Stand up straight
Squeeze your glutes & tighten your abs
….in order to fix your breathing and/or Posture problem?
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. I hear all of these statements on a daily basis, from frustrated new clients. Here’s how my philosophy is different.
Sole PT’s Philosophy
Breathing is the one exercise that can have a systemic effect on the body. Breathing can effect our nervous system, stress levels, cardiovascular health, muscle tension, and joint mobility. One of the best things you can do for your body is to teach yourself to breathe properly with good rib movement and diaphragm activation. Dr. Simon feels….
Ribs, just like our other joints, are meant to move
How we Breathe affects our posture. For example, someone with rounded shoulders has a hard time getting the front of their ribcage to move.
Breathing directly affects your diaphragm, deep abdominals, pelvic floor, and joints which Are Essential for healthy bodies
Posture and the way we carry our body is often a contributor to our pain
A posture issue is never just a tight muscle!
Through specific mobility drills designed with the foot anatomy in mind and strengthening exercises targeting the 29 muscles of the foot, Dr. Simon helps people get moving again with this guide

A Message From Owner, Eryn Simon
Have you tried all the “quick fixes” you found on the internet or followed suggestions provided by your doctor and still haven’t seen results? I was just like you, frustrated by chronic pain that kept me from fully enjoying the sports I loved and limiting my full potential. This frustration led me down the path to becoming a physical therapist in the hopes of helping others avoid a similar experience. It has become my mission to help individuals remain active and avoid all unnecessary medical procedures. You don’t have to sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed. That’s why we made this free guide just for you.
There is still more that can be done and we’re here to show you the way. Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action. The one thing we can guarantee is that by doing nothing, your foot pain won’t get better. So the next important thing is to take action!
