Akron, OH  with Kristen Peairs, Certified Rossiter Instructor

Workshop Sponsor:
Summa Center for Sports Health

Kristen is one of 9, Certified Senior Rossiter Instructors, in the world. She has been working with patients who have chronic pain issues for 7 years and she has been using Rossiter stretching as part of her practice for 5 years. She became a Rossiter Instructor in 2007.

In addition to being a Rossiter Instructor, Kristen has a Master of Science degree in Nutrition and is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Registered Dietitian.

She has chosen to focus on using and teaching Rossiter Stretching because it yields results more quickly than many other modalities...and because clients get results they've never been able to achieve using any other modality. Her vast and varied experiences with people in a variety of professions and phases of life provide the rich foundation of knowledge from which she teaches and coaches.

Rossiter Workshop Feedback from Participants:

"I have been working with patients with chronic pain for over a year now and have not found anything to truly relieve symptoms of their pain that is effective and efficient and allows them to return to their prior independence. Nor have I been able to use techniques that I learned in occupational therapy school to help my patients to become more comfortable with their pain. I was desperate to find something that I could use that would effectively provide pain relief. I searched online and found the Rossiter website. With further investigations and meetings I felt that this technique of deep tissue stretches would allow my patients the relief I was looking for. I went to this course: Unit 1 Rossiter Workshop to learn more about this technique. I was able to leave the course and use the workouts immediately with my patients. Upon using Rossiter I have had patients tell me that they have not felt this good in a long time and that is immediately after the workout. When they come back they tell me they were able to do activities that they don't even remember doing. Rossiter has allowed me to use a manual technique with my patients to relieve pain but ultimately to get my patients back to a state of independence with their ADL's. Prior to using Rossiter, I had patients that could barely get dressed, but with the Rossiter workouts they are now able to do their basic care with ease. Rossiter has taught me a way to achieve fast, effective, and consistent pain relief for my patients." -Cody Metropoulos, OT

"I enjoyed this class so much. Out of all the continuing education I've taken in the past 17 years, I would rate this as the most effective workshop in the areas of learning and applicability to my practice. Thank you!" -Debbie H., LMT

"Fabulous workshop! It was very well designed and it moves at just the right pace so I could do classroom learning and then apply it clinically. I loved it!" -Lee Devine, Resistance Stretching Intern & Software Salesperson

"I came back from the Rossiter System Workshop revived and energized. First, receiving the work was great, some of my own knots got worked out. Secondly learning the techniques was both exciting and empowering. I left with a strong foundation to begin offering this new system to my clients. I felt great -  really energized instead of tired and bored. I had another effective tool in my tool box. I felt unburdened, not having to go in and do the same strenuous table therapy client after client. Now I had yet another choice which really works. Variety is really a good thing."                         -Renee Anderson, LMT, RC

"I went to the symphony after just two days of the three-day Rossiter Workshop, got home after midnight, and woke up the next morning feeling great. If I had not had so much Rossiter, I would have been dragging. Kristen knows her work. She is committed to her work." -Jim Dewine, LMT

"As an Industrial Electrician, I was not intimidated by terms that would not be familiar to me. The course was presented in an easy format with great hands-on interaction with fellow students. I also like the fact that taking the workshop is a cheap way to get a full-body Rossiter Workout." -Dan Moyer, Industrial Electrician

"The Unit 1 Workshop was great and I'm on my way to Rossiterville! It was easy to follow and had a good amount of reinforcement. Kristen is informative, reflective, and entertaining as well. I'm very pleased with my experience."  -Claude Geeroms, Aikido school owner

"I am having so much fun with the Rossiter work. Ever since becoming a Massage Therapist, I've been looking for something that is fast and effective. The results are just amazing. It is very gratifying to be able to help people get out of pain so quickly." - Janice Malloy, LMT

"The workshop gives you skills that you can immediately be successful using to help people. It's logical and practical." -Pat Navin, BS, CMT
