“Pamela helped me immensely with...my back, hips, feet/ankles, and  knees.…

almost immediate relief from my lower back pain.”  

“Pamela helped me immensely with pain in my back, hips, feet/ankles, and  knees that I've struggled with for years. I experienced some of this  pain for most of my life and had chalked up as "the way it is" until  Pamela helped me troubleshoot and solve it. I noticed almost immediate  relief from my lower back pain. She also helped greatly reduce some new  knee pain I had been having for months by simply changing the position I  slept in. I'm very optimistic that Pamela will be able to offer you  some very valuable guidance!”

“Pamela often has some surprising answers that can significantly  help…chronic issues.”  

“I am writing to introduce you to Pamela Rief, a health educator who  specializes in a unique form of musculoskeletal re-education. ….She  helps clients replace poor habits with more physiologic habits, optimize  mobility, and reduce tension and pain.…  

I find her to be an excellent teacher with incredible compassion and a  sincere interest in each of her client’s progress and overall  well-being. Pamela often has some surprising answers that can  significantly help your patients who have chronic issues.”

“I’m able to do housework and childcare activities that I couldn’t do  before”  

“For over 2 decades I've been in pain/discomfort and limited in many  everyday activities and in sports I used to love.  I've looked just  about everywhere else for help.  At least 4-5 Physical therapists, a  Rheumatologist, several Chiropractors, Orthopedists, Massage,  Acupuncture, primary care doctors, etc.  Was diagnosed with Subscapular  Bursitis and tendonitis in a knee and an elbow, and a slight curvature  in my spine as well.    I've been working with Pam regularly to regain strength and confidence  in a myriad of activities….  My wife is relieved that I’m able to do housework and childcare  activities that I couldn’t do before without days of pain (and lots of  Advil)....Clearly the human body is a complicated thing and she knows a  lot about what others don't.”

“Her teaching…empowers students to heal themselves”  

“Pamela is a sensitive teacher, with a quick grasp of a student's  structural weaknesses.  With this ability Pam is able to personalize her  teaching instead of applying a 'one size fits all' formula. It empowers  students to heal themselves with clear guidelines that are specific to  their needs.”

“Thanks to you teaching me how to sit, lie down, and what to sit and  sleep on, I am pain free..”  

“I had chronic heel pain called plantar fasciitis. I had two (absolutely  horrible) bouts of this condition, each time lasting over one year. I  went to an orthopedist and a podiatrist. I had cortisone shots for it,  used a cane, and finally the doctor had to cast my leg for six weeks to  get it to go away. Since working with you I haven't had an episode of  plantar fasciitis.  

Tendonitis-I had this also for years! Before working with you, my  chronic tendonitis basically hurt almost all the time. I did consult an  orthopedist for this tendonitis (before my hip stress fracture). He did  not tell me how to get rid of it. He gave me a cortisone shot. With your  lessons, it took just a few weeks to go away, so I just don't have this  annoying, painful and embarrassing (because it often caused a limp)  chronic tendonitis at all anymore.   

The pain in my backside was very severe and it woke me up regularly. I  consulted a gynecologist, two orthopedists, and a proctologist. No one  helped me. Thanks to you teaching me how to sit, lie down, and what to  sit and sleep on, I am pain free.”

“Back to the lifestyle I wanted….my lower back pain and radiating pain into my leg disappeared.”

"The work Pamela did with me was life-changing.  Before I started working with Pamela, I had gone to numerous doctors and physical therapists to deal with my hip and lower back pain.  None of them was able to get me back to the lifestyle I wanted (i.e. working out regularly and running marathons.)  After 1 week of lessons, my hip pain improved significantly. After 3 weeks, my lower back pain and radiating pain into my leg disappeared.

[Over a year later, during the last trimester of pregnancy]...it occurred to me that as much as my big belly is making me feel uncomfortable, my back and hips have been feeling decent, probably the result of better posture thanks to you."

“After 5 sessions, I stand and walk pain free”

“...I came to her unable to stand or walk or even lie in bed without pain in my hips and legs, and after 5 sessions, I stand and walk pain free, and am working towards normal walking and beyond. Pamela also consults with my doctor about my case to help make his treatment most effective for me.”

"I haven’t had knee pain…I haven’t had back or hip pain!"   

"I was recovering from one of my many surgeries and also thinking about  my knee injury. Somehow when I came across Pamela and I looked through  her website, it was just an instinct that I should work with her. I am  so so glad I did…....  I haven’t had knee pain for months even as I add more weight to my  lifts! I haven’t had back or hip pain!"

[I have] virtually no pain when playing for long periods of time.”

“Showing me how to fix my back in...under 20 minutes  [I] was able to carry all my...luggage…, sit comfortably on the  flights…”  

“Had a crisis earlier this week. Could hardly put my socks on, the day  before leaving to ski in Utah with [my son]….thanks to Pamela Rief  showing me how to fix my back in 4 steps that took under 20 minutes the  evening before my departure, was able to carry all my gear and luggage  early the next AM, sit comfortably on the flights, and ski 4 full days  loose as a goose on loose powder.”

“Long-term knee pain went away in the first week of lessons and it  hasn’t returned”  

“I am more mindful of my movement and feel the difference her guidance  has done for my body. For example, long-term knee pain went away in the  first week of lessons and it hasn’t returned..”

“I had noticeable back and hip pain almost every day, which would stop  me from going out and doing certain exercises and activities. Since  seeing Pamela, however, I hardly notice any kind of pain with anything  I’m doing.”
