Testimonials

I have practiced physiotherapy since 1998, including four years travelling and working with Cirque du Soleil. In that time, I have had the privilege of working with many elite level clinicians, experts, therapists, and educators from around the world. Without hesitation, I include Kathleen in this group. She is passionate, has decades of experience and is a preeminent educator in her field.

Keller Method Vitality is an evolved, thorough and intelligent approach to a growing problem of what is missing in physiotherapy and physical medicine. Kathleen truly “gets it” when it comes to posture, core and myofascial education.

I am a physician, and I herniated a disc in my lower back skiing. I tried everything including physio, massage, personal trainers and prolotherapy, all with some degree of success. However, I was still left with a lot of pain and tightness in my muscles and my experts felt it was myofascial pain. I saw Kathleen for Self Myofasical Release.

She taught me how to roll on various balls to release muscle tension and pain mainly in my lower back, buttocks and legs. Recently I saw her again to do upper body and feet. She has an incredible knowledge base and is passionate about what she does. For those of us with busy lives she provides a way to treat ourselves at home, releasing daily tension and pain on our own time. SMR has given me a sense of control over my own pain and hope in knowing that I can control it myself.

Practicing Dentistry is a very difficult profession for the physical body. We sit in forward flexed and rotated spinal positions with our arms raised, all day long.

Speaking from my first-hand experience with Kathleen’s techniques, I absolutely know that she can help our profession! Her extensive knowledge in Rehab-Pilates, Self Myofascial Release and Myofascial connectivity have taught me how to truly find deeper core strength and how to relieve and prevent the tensions that my body continually builds throughout my workday.

I highly recommend Keller Method Vitality workshops and lectures! I know that she can positively influence the health of my peers and leave a legacy of better wellness within the global Dental Community.
