“I’m delighted to report that the philosophy of practicing FT with abandon throughout the day turns out to apply beautifully to skiing. I was tentative about getting back on the slopes today after very painful recent experiences where I could hardly stand up straight at the end of the day. After my first run today I felt some familiar strain in the low back. While riding the chairlift I felt inspired to see whether I could ski with a narrow stance founder. So…what happened on the next semi-steep bump run blew me away: I started the run in a shallow founder position, and quickly noticed that I not only didn’t feel any low back strain, but I was automatically placed in an aggressive and effective skiing position. And oddly, I felt my old high school racing form return and fluidly nailed the bump run and got strong edge articulation in the high-speed groomer section. Amazing!!

While riding the chair I did a few things that seemed to complement the founder-style skiing, in what amounted to active resting. Letting my poles hang between my closely spaced and parallel-positioned skis, I made side-by-side fists and isometrically pulled my knees together during the ride. At the same time I did decompression breathing. I was careful to not use the backrest of the chair and made sure to keep a nice curvature in the low back while breathing. I also added some good-mornings from that position.

The result was that I felt good each time I got off the lift, and skied strongly and well with little to no pain — and the conditions were bulletproof hard-pack to boot!

It was a joy to discover this, and I’m realizing that FT needs to be as much a part of my daily life as eating well and exercising. Thanks so much for helping me develop this new lifestyle, you’re a great teacher!” Scott

“There may be many good Massage Therapists in Boulder, but Maia Ignatz is definitely in the “Exceptional” category. Why am I certain of this? Because she has received that rating from my mother (95+), my adult son, and myself. We have very different needs because of our ages, but we agree, Maia is truly exceptional, highly skilled and attentive. You’re unlikely to get better professional massage therapy.” Rob Schware, Chautauqua, Boulder

“Maia’s excellence as a massage therapist comes from her mastery of technique as well as genuine care for her clients. Regarding her studio, it is impeccably clean and the table is extremely comfortable. She’s great at respecting the comfort level of the client regarding the amount of clothing they prefer to wear and where their physical limits are. Having been to many massage therapists, Maia is easily among the best.” Caroline B.

“Maia has been key to my recovery after compressing a vertebrae five months ago. She’s remarkably strong and intuitive and finds creative, helpful solutions for my pain, even when I’m not very good at describing that pain. She takes excellent note of how I’m doing and remembers, helping me to track my own progress. She’s been a lifesaver following this injury and I wouldn’t be skiing and running and swimming and cycling again without her. I’ve recommended Maia to friends who love her as much as I do. I’m sure you will, too!” Erin F.
