How Christina reduced her shoulder pain and jump-started a commitment to her health
“Just one month helped much more than I had hoped for…”
Christina started at Studio Evolve with The Accelerator in the fall of 2022, when she had just left a job she had been in for a long time and needed to focus on herself. She was also dealing with the aftermath of a frozen shoulder episode on her left side.
“When I started The Accelerator, I was feeling creaky and old,” says Christina.
“I had chronic pain and limited range of motion in my neck and shoulders, and I knew that I needed—and wanted—to do something about it.
“But honestly, I had no idea how much it was impacting me until I started to feel better! I’d been avoiding doing things because I was afraid they would hurt; I’d gotten so used to living that way I didn’t even realize I was doing it.
“After a month in The Accelerator, my daily pain levels went down from a 7 to a 3 or 4. Just one month helped much more than I had hoped for.
After finishing the one-month Accelerator program, Christina continued with Pilates privates and SPRE sessions.
Then in 2023, Christina developed frozen shoulder again - this time on the right side.
“The difference in how it has impacted me is pretty dramatic,” says Christina.
“Because I was doing both Pilates and SPRE with Kimmie before and during my right side frozen shoulder, I was not in as much pain or nearly as limited on the right as I was on the left. I’ve been able to continue with Pilates and play tennis throughout. “
We still see Christina at Studio Evolve at least weekly, and her practice has shifted over time.
“These days, I feel like the studio is a place where I go to get centered,” she says.
“Sometimes I’ll come in feeling out of sorts and within a few minutes, I feel much better—more grounded.
“As a person who has trouble committing to things, I must say I am proud of myself for sticking with regular Pilates and SPRE sessions for the past couple of years.”
