Most of my clients come to me with knee or hip issues, whether from running, cycling, strength training, or recovering from surgery. These challenges are our entry point . . .our gateway . . . to helping you feel better in your whole body.

Hi, I’m Susi. I help people ease, and often eliminate, persistent pain. Most of my clients come to me with knee or hip issues, whether from running, cycling, strength training, or recovering from surgery. These challenges are our entry point . . .our gateway . . . to helping you feel better in your whole body.

Here's What A Few Clients Have To Say:

“I had been trapped in a prison of pain. Pretty much feeling like there is never going to be any hope, that I’m just going to have to live my life like this forever, which is not a great way to live. Now I have freedom.”

Anne

“We push so hard in so many things we do, and Susi gives you permission to take it easy and to move with ease . . which . . I think, is really special in this world right now.”

Carolyn

“We know we’re looking for something. We know we don’t want to be in pain anymore. We don’t want to be tight anymore. We don’t want to feel alien to our bodies anymore.”

James

AS FEATURED IN:

Where the pain is,
is not where the problem is.

Over the last 30 years of teaching clients and training health professionals to reduce and eradicate pain – I have seen one common characteristic amongst all of them . . .

When you can connect to the whispers in the body, and can quiet the body’s screams, that is when you can get better, faster results – even for those who have been living with pain for decades.

At the foundation of my company Functional Synergy is a belief that where the pain is, is not where the problem is.

Using anatomy, biomechanics and your ability to see and listen, you can use small movements to get better results at an accelerated pace.

My job is to help you connect more clearly with your body and empower you to finally identify and resolve the true cause of your pain or discomfort. 

Where the pain is,
is not where the problem is.

The pain and tension are real . .  Yes.
But often, the pain in your knee isn’t just about your knee.
And the tension in your hip isn’t just about your hip.
Especially when symptoms are chronic or persistent.

As humans, we’re remarkable adapters . . . endlessly creative in how we compensate.

It might be the way your foot meets the ground.
The swing of your leg through your pelvis.
Or how your whole system has quietly, chronically, protectively learned to brace.

When you begin to move differently . . .  even slightly  . . . your body responds.
Not just in one joint, but across the whole chain.
Relief, stability, and strength begin to return.

“Susi’s teaching and presence blends compassion, curiosity, attentiveness, humor, and wisdom in a unique Susi-stew. She’s very special.”

Listen to the whispers of your body,

so you don’t have to hear (or feel) the screams.

Why My Approach Is Unique and Effective

I take a very unique approach by integrating kinesiology with therapeutic yoga, yoga nidra, and Ayurveda.  I empower you to excel at identifying the root cause of your own pain, and learning exactly how you can reduce or eradicate it.

I LOVE MY KNEES:
