After 5 years of being injury free, I can no longer claim that. For the past, several months I have been battling some minor knee pain. It finally got to the point when I felt compelled to see a doctor and get some x-rays. It turns out I not only have runner’s knee (ironically from my spin class) but also early stages of osteoarthritis (OA) in my right knee.

Of course, my doctor felt compelled to give me his recommendations which shockingly included cortisone shots and/or surgery. None of which I am considering at this point in my life. So I went home and thought about my options, treating myself like I would a client and put a plan together on how I could heal myself, holistically.
