In this episode, Tracy explains to us, what corrective exercise is, who needs it and how it helps. Tracy reveals how a life changing event has led her into this expertise, along with how it can help after you have already tried physical therapy, chiropractor, and everything else. I love this conversation as Tracy revels information that is not common knowledge regarding lifting weights, proper form and the importance of utilizing the "unknown" muscles.  Tracy is a Corrective Exercise Specialist, giving women the tools to eliminate chronic pain when no other tools have helped.  Tracy was hit by a semi-truck in 2014 and was disabled with a back injury.  She trained herself fully through her recovery and is now 100% recovered.  She now loves sharing the same methods she used with others and seeing lives transformed.
