BIOGRAPHY

After several injuries,
I finally went to see a chiropractor and was
impressed by his approach to treatment of
musculoskeletal pain. With this experience in mind,
I enrolled in chiropractic college and I received my
Doctor of Chiropractic degree from
Palmer West Chiropractic College in 1997.
Since then, I’ve devoted my career to the
recovery & prevention of back pain.
I blend modern bioscience & rehabilitation with
the best of various traditional healing therapies.
My private practice is located in San Mateo, California.

I teach a series of workshops in various
locations around the Bay Area.
These programs help participants
discover musculoskeletal health & resilience.
I self-publish a quarterly health & fitness newsletter.

In 1999, I had the interesting experience of
providing care for the cast of the
Miss Saigon National Touring Company.

Prior to becoming a chiropractor,
I trained numerous groups of
exercise & personal training instructors through
continuing education workshops for the
Aerobics & Fitness Association of America & the
American Council on Exercise.
I was a licensing examiner for the
Aerobics & Fitness Association of America.
I maintained my own personal training business &
worked for the West Coast Regional Director of the National Academy of Sports Medicine through Balanced Approach. I was also the fitness director,
in charge of staff education & programming, for
Warner Center Club in Los Angeles.

Matthew Campagna and I collaborate in the production/creation of the Allaire Back Fitness and Espaldas Sanas television shows and DVDs.

I trained as a professional dancer in jazz & ballet for over 20 years. I consistently practice my own Allaire Back Fitness workout. I consider it my foundation workout because it supports my active lifestyle. I currently study Yoshinkai Aikido, yoga, dance, run, swim, and I love to read.
