Low back and hip pain can hold you back from fully participating in the life you want. If you feel stuck in pain or feel that you’ve run out of options, my Wise Moves holistic movement therapy can help you jump back into your life.
I’m Allison Wilmes. I’m sorry to say that I am no longer working as a movement therapist. However, you will find lots of free and useful information on this site to help you eliminate or significantly reduce your back pain.
Check all the articles on the Resources page and try the small, gentle movements in this video. In addition, you can access all the movement videos I have on my YouTube channel.
I wish you all the best!
Testimonials
“Allison taught me simple, non-aggressive actions done in a mindful way that began adjusting my spine in the very first session. After completing her program, I found that not only did I have considerable relief in my back, but noticed that my knees and neck also felt a release of tension. Allison is a lovely teacher as well; kind and compassionate, funny, serious, and thorough.“
“Because of instability in my low back and SI joint my practice has been restricted to the floor for the past 2 years. Working with Allison has allowed me to move from the floor to standing poses without pain in a very short time. I finally feel like I have tools to stabilize and strengthen safely while enjoying traditional yoga poses. Thanks Allison!“
“The progress I made with one of Allison’s programs has been simply remarkable. I had 50+ years of sacroiliac discomfort and 20+ years of bulging and herniated discs, many doctors, therapists, pharmaceutical regimes, etc. and none have come close to providing and sustaining the relief that I’ve had after 10 short weeks. If you have the discipline to follow her recommended approach, she’s truly a miracle worker.“
“After suffering intense back pain, I had back surgery to repair a ruptured herniated disc. A few months later, I herniated another disc and knew that I needed to do something different. Allison gave me personalized attention to get at the root of the problem. This is the most helpful and hopeful long-term solution I’ve found for my back. I’m now able to do things that I didn’t think I would be able to do anymore like running again. I am so grateful and happy that I came to see Allison!“
