If you’ve ever felt stiff and stuck like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz after being left out in the rain; have tight, sore knots that restrict your mobility, or have battled issues like frozen shoulder, this show is for you. We’re learning all about fascia–the unsung connective tissue that holds our muscles in place, facilitates healthy, dynamic movement, and transfers energy throughout the body. When it gets stuck–which it's more likely to do during peri and postmenopause–we do, too. This week’s guest, performance physical therapist Nicole Armbrust, guides us through a special presentation on fascial health and mobility so we can feel and play our best, injury and pain free for life. (As a bonus, Nicole gives a visual presentation, which you can watch on our Feisty Menopause YouTube channel.)

Nicole Armbrust is a performance physical therapist with 24 years of experience, a masters runner with 17 Boston Marathon finishes, and a UESCA certified running coach. She also has completed a Fellowship in Applied Functional Science (FAFS) through the Gray Institute. While years of clinical practice and patient care gave her vast experience, Nicole is pivoting her business/expertise away from “traditional PT” and into coaching, courses, and speaking engagements using a hybrid model of in-person and online offerings. You can find her on www.jumpstartrunning.com and Instagram under the same name.
