Oh this thing..... I may know a thing or 2 I used to LOVE extremities (ankles, shoulders, etc). I mean all things extremities. I told myself it was because I preferred sports injuries and athletes were always tweaking ankles, knees, fingers, etc acutely. BUT- the more I learned, and saw it was blatantly apparent I always had to go back and check the spine/pelvis. It affects EV-RY-THING. Knee injury... pelvis drove it or is being affected from your limp. Shoulder injury- tr...eatment is worth nothing unless you clear the neck. Your spine houses the stable core your extremeities move from. If it is "off" your hips-->knees-->ankles / shoulders-->elbows-->wirsts cannot function properly. Think about it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk, have a fantastic SUNNY WEEKEND!

Home to meet my new niece Madison Even though life for your mom and dad and now me (for a short while) has become a series of naps you’re the sweetest and cutest and most snuggly. Can’t wait to help you do all the things your parents don’t want you to do (and your hair). PLEASE PLEASE always be nice to them because just living with them this week has been sweet and lovely but also torturous for all parties involved. Love aunt Kimmy

It rains one morning in LA and when the sun peeks out we’re all sprinting to the beach flinging out shirts off I think I’m finally becoming a matchy matchy leggings and sports bra kinda girl... Through the linker.ee in my bio you can shop anything @lululemon enjoy #lululemon #lululemonambassador #thesweatlife #leggings #thestrand #hermosabeach #manhattanbeach #workout #cardioday

In chiro school you get your white coat after 2 full years of class, summers and all. I remember my first term of school volunteering at the ceremony, sleep deprived and delirious, thinking I would rip my pinky fingernail off to fast forward through the hell of school to get my white coat now. (Aggressive I know but I’m sure many people in grad school can relate) I thought when I get that coat, I’m never going to take it off. Ever. Now it hangs in a random closet. I realized ...I hate wearing it. It’s not uncomfortable I just don’t like it... I rather wear workout clothes tbh. No uplifting message here. Just a honest story of what I think about whenever I see these professional photos

I always get asked about running on the sand. Good or bad? Well both Good- it is easier on your joints because it is a softer surface Not so good- unlike the treadmill or hard ground, the sand moves when you push off of it changing your running biomechanics... #lululemon #lululemonambassador #thesweatlife #lululemonla #losangeles #chiropractor #healthandwellness #hermosabeach #manhattanbeach
