Explore Aging Is Not 4 Sissies
Hello, World!
Welcome to Aging Is Not 4 Sissies! Whether you are here for Integrated Positional Therapy Bodywork, or Personal Training … I’m so glad you’re here. And guess what, you don’t even have to be an older adult to enjoy the opportunities here. If you are looking for a good place to begin, need a more moderate or adaptive workout due to recent surgeries or Physical Rehabilitation, this is a great place to start.
Integrated Positional Therapy (IPT) bodywork is such a gentle way to ease pain and help the body get back into balance. I use a lot of IPT techniques in my exercise, Yoga and IPT bodywork. Lee Albert is my IPT mentor as I follow his muscle balancing techniques. You may have seen him on PBS Pain-Free Living specials. I have completed my IPT Certification.
Who does Integrated Positional Therapy (IPT) work for:
Highly Sensitive Persons (Angela can testify on this)
Those in Physical Rehabilitation Recovery
Those with Degeneration of the Spine, other Joints, & Arthritis
Autoimmune issues where gentle, slow movement & progress is necessary (Angela has first-hand experience with this as well)
Older Adults
Those that want trained Assisted stretching techniques
People interested in learning how to help themselves so they can continue their wellness plan at home
Chronic pain & stress
Those that desire a more gentle approach to balancing muscles than Chiropractic or other modalities
IPT is appropriate for just about everyone!
Here are the main techniques that Integrated Positional Therapy utilizes:
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)

Active Aging resources
As I have gotten older, accepting an ever-changing self-identity has its’ challenges. The aging process is ongoing and it involves emotional, spiritual, physical, and intellectual acceptance. I am still learning how to release anxiety in my mind and not hold it in my body which can present itself as pain. Learning is ongoing and I love to learn. I like to provide help and resources for whole-person wellness.
