David Maynard
started out with Christy years ago and she is amazing! You'll love her passion, and she genuinely makes exercise fun. When I first came to her, I had severe osteoarthritis and could barely walk. By focusing on my posture and movement, I was able to delay my hip replacement surgery for 14 years. I'm so glad I waited, because medical advancements improved significantly during that time. Whatever your condition, you won't be disappointed. You will get strong in a fun, energetic environment. Thank you, Christy!
David you are the most amazing and dedicated client I’ve ever had! I have been honored to be part of the journey.
Harmon Parker
Christy is very knowledgeable about anatomy and her expertise has helped me feel really great. She analyzed my posture and how I walk and figured out some muscle weaknesses. She determined the best exercises for me to improve muscle strength and posture. I strongly recommend Professor Posture!
Harmon, Thank you so much for your kind words. I enjoyed working with you.
John Doyle
I had issues for years and went to chiropractors and massage therapist just to ease my neck pain. Going to Christi I was given a routine tailored for me specifically because we are all shaped differently. I felt the difference within weeks. It affected my energy levels as well which increased. Posture is so important for so many things. People I worked with and knew me notice a huge difference in me and it made look like I was working out more to. It made me feel so much better in my daily life. I would definitely recommend it to anyone specifically if you have neck pain.
John, you are a joy to work with! I know you are going to continue to excel!
Chris Melvin
Christi is an absolutely phenomenal professional! She understands the way muscles, joints, and posture work together. She provides insight and adjustments to help you live a healthier life with minimal or no pain based on specific adjustments. I can't recommend her programming enough as not only does she approach it from a scientific perspective but also is very empathetic and a great coach. The exercises she provided during our sessions have been extremely beneficial and are easy to fit into your day to day routine. Would recommend for professionals sitting at a desk all day, people with bad posture, active athletes with recurring issues, and anyone with chronic neck, back, or shoulder pains.
Chris, you have been an amazing Cleint and so dedicated. Thank you so much for taking time to do this!
Angela Boggs
I was being treated for my lower back and pour posture by Christi, my Posture Coach.. She worked with me on various exercises as we reviewed my progress each session, I was seeing results due to her experience and expertise. Thank you, Christi for all of your help now that my back pain has subsided and my posture has improved tremendously. I definitely recommend Christi as she is a result driven posture coach. I have recommended her to my friends and family.🦋🙏☺️
Angela, I can't thank you enough for your enthusiasm and faith in the process! From day 1 you were in it to get better and you did!
Mel Ora
My daughter referred me to Professor Posture after two unsuccessful Physical Therapy attempts over four months for an injured sit bone. After just one session with Christie, I saw a significant improvement and after the second session, I have not had any setbacks and am basically pain free! I would definitely recommend her for any structural physical pain!
Mel, thank you for trusting me! It means so much to me that you are now pain free and able to live life without wondering how your body will respond to going out and having fun.
J.R. Espino
Initial Assessment was THOROUGH! Christi took me through her assessment because I tend to have an imbalanced posture. I did not realize that the assessment was going to be as thorough as it was... visual charting, video of gait, recommendations for proper alignment, etc. I would highly recommend her!
J.R. It was such a pleasure to work with you! Thank you for the review!
Stacey Johnson
I went to Christi for back and hip pain. She gave me exercises exclusively for my issues. We had weekly sessions with new exercises and checked my alignment each time, I’m now doing so much better and pain free. Highly recommend!!
Stacey, Thank you for taking a chance on posture therapy. Doing your exercises is the key to getting better, and you did a wonderful job. I know it took a lot of faith on your part and I truly appreciate you.
Anthony Wright
My experience was great with Christi. At 75 years old, my posture was being to look old. After a few months, I am looking younger, have better posture, and so much more conscious of maintaining good posture.
Anthony, I am enjoying working with you. No one would ever know you're 75 especially now with your amazing posture!
James Overton
Professor Pisture helped me tremendously dealing with back pain, shoulder pain and an overall improvement in my posture. She improved my limp due to floppy foot caused by a neck injury. I highly recommend her services.
James, I'm over joyed that you're doing well! Thank you so much for the kind words.
Gilly Dominguez
Christi is the consummate professional. Her positive attitude, knowledge and willingness to “straighten you up” makes her a delight to work with. She’s awesome! 👏
Thank you Gilly! I love your enthusiasm and zest for life. You make everything (even boring exercises) fun!
Souha AR
I enjoy working with Christina she’s kind, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. Overall, I felt well taken care of and would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for knowledgeable and compassionate medical professionals.
Souha, Thank you for taking the time to write these kind words. I can't wait to get back to work!
Byrein Mucia
I have Ehlers Danlos/hyper mobility which complicates everything. Not only does Christi know her stuff better than anyone I’ve met but you really gain someone who is in your corner and is there for you.
Oh, this just made me cry! This is the way I strive to make all my clients feel and I truly pray that I have helped you.
Barbie Blank
Christi has great knowledge about the body and posture as she is a certified personal trainer, aerobics instructor and has a masters in public health. If you have any doubts or questions about your posture you need to reach out to Professor Posture. Her therapy practices will help eliminate pain, restore mobility and all around make you feel better. Don't wait... Correcting hunchback can take months sometimes even longer.... Just a few sessions will make you think twice about how you sit, how you stand and how you walk...
Barbie, I am humbled by your kind words! I'm so glad that you enjoyed your time with Professor Posture! You are such a wonderful person for helping me help others.
Alison Smith
It's working!!! I've been going to Christi for two months now and can see and feel the difference. As a middle aged adult with mild scoliosis and uneven hips that have required ongoing chiropractic care, I've been frustrated that my posture pictures haven't shown much improvement with imbalances. I knew there had to be a solution - and it's Christi! Her very thorough assessment showed a whole slew of muscle imbalances, which left uncorrected, will only continue to undo the chiropractic adjustments that I keep getting as my muscles will just keep pulling my spine back out of place. I've been doing to work and stretches that Christi has been putting into the PTX Therapy app and the things that need to be loosened up are getting loose! The exercises are simple, the app is easy to use and I haven't had to purchase any expensive equipment or take a lot of time. EVERYONE has muscle imbalances. You won't believe the difference when you get them fixed. Call Christi for a better quality of life!
Alison, your hip and back pain is now in your control. You have been so wonderful at doing your exercises and giving me such valuable feedback about how they affected your body. These simple little things can make a big impact on your future!
Lisa Demmi
I just started seeing Christie and she helped me understand why my body is feeling the way it is. Very knowledgeable and looking forward To working with her to get my body Feeling good again!
Lisa, I am so excited about the road ahead of us. Watching your body get better is going to be so much fun!
Christy Tharp
I cannot recommend Christi enough, she is kind, knowledgeable and thorough. I was really struggling with chronic pain…especially after the onset of menopause. I’m astonished by how much it has helped and how quickly, in my hips, back, shoulder, and neck. She provided sound guidance, immediate relief, and an effective regimen I could easily follow at home.
Christy it has been such a joy to see you becoming more confident with your movements. Thank you for allowing me to be your guide!
Alex D.
I’ve been working out with professor posture for few months and I’m very happy with the results. Christi made a thorough analysis of my posture issues and explained them to me, which wasn’t obvious to me. The exercises she taught me are well suited and she keeps checking their effectiveness at every session, to ensure I spend my time effectively. After 8 sessions I had to move across the state and she offered me to continue using zoom. I was quite surprised how easy it was and the experience was not compromised at all. I’m very grateful she offered me this alternative, as it’s nice to save time on commute and there are drawbacks.
Alex, thank you so much for giving everyone a bird's eye view of in person sessions vs. sessions on zoom. I know that going virtual can seem less than ideal, and I'm so happy you shared your experience.
Will Greaves
I played football and rugby for a combined 23 years, so when PP first saw me, my body was a total wreck. Through her routines I can finally live a pain free life!
Will, Thank you so much for the review. Your body really has come a long way!
John Daniels
I really enjoyed working with Christi. She was able to significantly improve my posture and my neck/shoulder pain. I would highly recommend working with her.
Thank you for allowing me to help you John!
Dr. Carlos Garcia
After years of trying to address an issue with back discomfort, Professor Posture was able to help me get the the root of the problem. She has been an absolute delight to work with and I am so grateful that I was referred to her. She truly cares about her clients health and is so kind and compassionate. I highly recommend.
Carlos, Thank you for trusting me with your back discomfort. It means the world to me when my clients get results that allow them to get back to the activities and life they love!
Catherine Barnhill
My teen daughter is a dancer and avid reader, and because of the latter, her head and neck were forward, which made the dancing more difficult because she was off balance. We tried chiropractic and some other exercises, but nothing helped long-term. Her chiropractor referred us to Professor Posture, and she showed us that the problem actually started in my daughter's hips! Over the next couple of months she used exercises (with a cool phone app to keep her accountable and doing them correctly) and her photo mapping technology to get my daughter "on the line." Her improved posture is making dance so much easier for her now!
Catherine, Thank you for trusting me with your daughter's posture! She is always a joy to work with and is so dedicated to doing her exercises.
Bonnie Garrison
Christi provided a very thorough assessment and demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge in her field. While I have not received therapy sessions, I know many of her clients, and they consistently share how happy they are with the help and guidance she provides. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care truly make a difference. Highly recommended!
Thank you for coming in for your Posture Therapy assessment so you can better understand how your body works so you can live a healthy life!
Carole Brennan
I had my first consultation with Christi at Professor Posture in Tampa, and she was awesome! She really knew her stuff and took the time to understand my issues. Christi explained everything clearly and made me feel super comfortable. If you need expert advice and support, I highly recommend checking her out!
Carole, Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to have a Posture assessment. It was wonderful getting to help you. I can't wait to get my team together for the Alzheimer's walk!
Trixie Richter
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Professor Posture, Christi Slavin. Her wealth of knowledge about body mechanics, her genuine care and compassion, and the thoughtfully tailored therapeutic exercise plans she provides have been life-changing for me. When I first met Christi, I couldn't lift my left arm. I was terrified that surgery or painful injections were going to be my only options. But in just one visit, Christi gave me something I hadn't felt in a long time: hope. With her guidance and a commitment to the exercises she prescribed, I regained mobility and strength in my arm. The fear and frustration of not being able to do simple, everyday tasks like combing my hair, fastening my bra, or lifting objects disappeared as my range of motion returned. One of the most meaningful milestones came when I walked in my baccalaureate procession from seminary, carrying the Bible to the pulpit—completely free of pain. Recently, I faced a new challenge: an old Achilles injury in one foot and plantar fasciitis in the other. Once again, I turned to Christi, and she worked her magic. Her thoughtful care and exercises got me back on my feet—literally—and restored my ability to move without pain. As I often say, “Christi doesn’t just treat symptoms; she empowers you with knowledge, tools, and hope to reclaim your mobility and your life.” I wholeheartedly recommend anyone living with joint pain, limited mobility, or chronic discomfort to seek help from Professor Posture. Christi's expertise and encouragement make overcoming even long-term issues not just possible, but achievable in ways I never imagined. She truly transforms lives.
Trixie, WOW.. is all I can say. I was truly so humbled reading your words! Thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting me yet again to help you through this.
Nicole Heckley
Christi presented a posture class for my company virtually. The employees were raving about this class. She taught them important information about the body and why it's important to keep good posture. They enjoyed the exercises she taught them and are looking forward to using them daily in the office. The session was highly educational, engaging, and helped support our employees wellness. Would highly recommend.
Nicole, Thank you so much for allowing me to engage your employees! My primary goal is educating people on why Posture Matters. I enjoyed the opportunity to do that for your co workers.
Julie Moore
My experience with posture therapy began with Christi Slaven in 2018. I had been having chronic pain in my neck and low back. Starting with the first exercise she gave me at the clinic, when I stood up and walked a few steps, it was amazing how quickly I felt a shift in my whole body. It was as though everything was suddenly "balanced" and had immediate pain relief. It took a few weeks of therapy, doing each customize routine she created for my body to be pain free, but it absolutely worked! I have since moved away, but I've often picked up some of the old routines of exercises. Just yesterday I did two exercises and was quickly reminded of how well this method works! I highly recommend posture therapy with Christi.
Julie, I greatly appreciate your kind words!! I hope you keep going with your exercises and stay pain free.
Sarah Melo
I had a wonderful experience with Christi She was patience, kind, professional and eager to educate me. Thanks, Christi, for taking the time to show me what I can work now regarding my posture to avoid having to deal with it later. It was a fun experience too.. Christi is so easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Until next time! I highly recommend Professor Posture!
Sarah, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to not only come in for an assessment, but to then put this review up for me. You truly are one in a million.
Edward Kirk
Posture perfect, was able to point out exactly why I have so much pain in my back in one session. They know exactly what they’re doing. I highly recommend them!
Hi Edward! I am very much looking forward to making your posture perfect!
Tomi K (TomiAVTampa)
I highly recommend working with Christi. My posture was really bad and I had problems with knees & ankles and working with Christi put me on the right track to correct my issues with simple exercises. Christi was very knowledgeable and she gave me exercises based on what my posture was and showed me which muscles need strengthening to get my body aligned and functioning properly. She is also an amazing person and very kind and fun.
Tomi, I adore you! You are so insightful and an absolute joy to work with.
Barbara Pierce
Christi is amazing and extremely knowledgeable. She is patient and kind but most of all tailors the program to fit you personally. My hip pain from sitting all day at work is exponentially better. I highly recommend her for any type of chronic pain issue.
Barbara, thank you for trusting me with your pain, and allowing me to work with you! It was truly a pleasure.
Dustin Rudolph
Christi is an amazing therapist. I worked with her for my hip and shoulder issues. She was so in tune with what my body needed for exercises to fix my issues. She communicates well and has several different exercise options depending on what works for you as an individual. I would highly recommend her if you have any join or posture issues.
Thank you so much Dustin for being as amazing as you are!
Valerie Thomas
Working with Christi has been amazing! She is extremely understanding and adapts to a client needs. She gives clear instructions on the exercises she provides and communicates well. I recommend her to anyone that needs help getting out of pain.
Valerie, I truly appreciate your review. It was amazing to experience how dedicated you were to learning about your body's posture and it's relation to your pain!
Louise Pashkevich
Christi is AWESOME! I had been told that I needed a hip replacement by an orthopedic specialist and also an orthopedic surgeon. This was over three years ago. I had arthritis in my left hip and my hips were misaligned which caused my hips to lock, preventing me from moving. Due to previous experiences with surgery, I decided to investigate other non-surgical methods of addressing my hip condition. When I learned about postural therapy, I decided to pursue it. I had Christi as my postural therapist for over a year and have made so much progress. She has made my quality of life so much better. Christi is extremely positive, professional, competent, knowledgeable and effective. Even though my problems were quite complex, she has been able to ease my discomfort and enable me to move again. Through the various exercises that were tailored for my needs, I have been able to resume many of my normal activities including my aggressive pickleball playing and my hips haven't locked in over a year. I highly recommend her to others seeking a non-surgical means of alleviating pain and restoring movement of the body. I'm very thankful for all the support, help and success that resulted from Christi's therapy for me. I continue to do daily exercises that were suggested for my specific hip/back issues and doing the exercises is key to my movement.
Louise, if I had set up a "star client" award you would have received it every time you came in. The insights you were able to communicate to me about your body made my job so much easier!
Larissa Casey
I'm very grateful to find Christi. Started to seing her for my hip issues that created the frozen shoulder. Where doctors focused on one part of the body only, Christi further looks at the body as a whole finding the root cause of the injury. From the very first day, I felt relief to the pain. Repetition and consistency is key to recovery and live a life pain free! I will continue my journey with her! Thanks Christi for been kind and attentive.
Larissa, it is always been such a pleasure to work with you. The feedback you provide me with for each and every exercise is extraordinarily helpful. I couldn't do my job half as well without your feedback!
Bridgette Bello
Christi is an absolute professional and pleasant person to work with. She truly cares and wants to help. It isn't "just business" to her and I've absolutely enjoyed knowing her and benefiting from her help.
Bridgette, it was such a pleasure to work with you to so you can be pain free. You are such a power house in the Tampa Bay Area that is was an honor to help you!
Tara Moody
Professor Posture is a wealth of knowledge. I have been to many different kinds of professionals to help relieve pain in the past but none ever took the time to explain to me why I was having the recurring pain. After a short consultation I already had ideas of things I needed to correct. Christi was able to answer my questions with ease and provided visuals. This was time well spent.
Thank you Tara for taking the time to learn and then implementing changes! I want to put you,the client, in charge of getting back to the things you love to do!
Earl Wertheim
I've had the privilege of working with Christie for the past three and a half years and have found her to be extremely proficient in physical therapy. Christie sets up a program for you based on your body's needs rather than using random exercises. I worked with her in her studio until Covid hit us and have been working with her at home through a Zoom connection with great results. I highly recommend her for her efficiency, professionalism, and dependability.
Thank you for trusting me with your health and taking the time to write this ber kind review.
Ann Jerome
After breaking some bones in a fall at age 63, I didn't think I'd ever be fully mobile again. But I am! Thanks to working with Christi, I'm more stable on my feet than I've been in many years, and I also feel flexible and strong. I will never be without this life-changing practice! Update, two years later: continuing to feel great as I continue working with Christi, but I had an injury recently that put me in tremendous pain. Christi met with me immediately and gave me some simple exercises that had me pain-free the next day, and back to my normal exercise routine two days later. It looks like magic, but it's due to Christi's tremendous knowledge and expertise. I'm so grateful!
Anne, I can't thank you enough for reaching out to me so we could resolve the underlying reason for the pain.
Timothy Lanz
I worked with Christina for almost one year and she transformed my posture. Her knowledge of body positioning and movement as we as physiology is impressive. I came to her with issues with my lower back, hips and lower legs. Christina found other areas that were contributing to my lower body issues. Amazing! I would highly recommend Christina's Professor Posture program as I am more agile and resilient to injury as a result.
Timothy, I truly appreciate you taking the time to write this wonderful review. I was able to identify the issues, but you did the work to get yourself out of pain!
Sue Griner
Both my son and I have worked with Christi for several years. She is the epitome of professionalism combined with sincere empathy for the client. The exercise menus she has provided have resulted in extraordinary improvement in the pain I have experienced in my knee, and the problems my son has with his lower back. She listens and fits exercise menus to the needs of the individual. I highly recommend her and only wish she were located in Tallahassee.
Sue, you and Reynolds are amazing people, and it was my pleasure to work with both of you.
Wesley Clay
Within two sessions I experienced relief in my back from a shoulder injury. HIGHLY recommend. To my crossfit people, Christi is a must-see health professional.
Thank you Wesley for the kind words! I love to help people feel better and get back to doing the fun things in life!
Amy Willis
I had a consult with Christi after several consults with PT after a surgery. I was left with arm pain and limited range of motion. She took her time and listened to my symptoms and instantly gave me information on the muscles that were affected and I reviewed exercises that would help . These exercises have helped tremendously and has increased my range of motion. I feel grateful for someone who took the time to listen to me and my symptoms.
Amy thank you so much for trusting me with your shoulder mobility. It must've been very frustrating for you with a full time job, husband, and small child to care for.
Rick Riddle
I worked with Christi in 2021 to overcome chronic pain in my right shoulder. She identified the postural weaknesses that were leading to the pain, and with her help I was able to correct the problem. I have been free of the shoulder pain since that time. Christi’s directions are clear, and she readily explains the corrective therapy with sufficient detail. She is perpetually professional and cheerful and always directs her full attention to her patient’s needs. I was pleased with her work from beginning to pain free end!
Rick, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you. You did your exercises regularly which is so helpful in the recovery!
Eileen Bradley
I have worked with Christi Slaven on and off for quite a few years. When I first found Christi, I was in serious pain. I could barely stand up and my lower back was killing me. Christi designed various workouts for me and over time, I almost forgot how much pain I had been in. Now, I keep some sessions on account for whenever I need a tweak here and there. My husband also used her program, guidance and expertise. Although he didn't have anything seriously wrong with him, he is getting older and wanted to preserve his health, posture and mobility to the greatest extent possible. Now, we both try to do our stretches every night and find it makes a huge difference in our well being and my happiness (I'm subject to aches and pains). One other thing I want to mention is that Chisti is a phenomenal therapist! Not only does she provide the proper exercises to help straighten out your problem, she genuinely cares as is evidenced by her follow up. I strongly recommend Christi and the work she does!
Eileen, thank you so so much. Doing your exercises is the key, and you're both very dedicated. I miss giving you a hug since so many of our sessions have been virtual lately, but I'm always happy to see your face no matter how it happens.
Pamela Skyrme
Christi is a talented diagnostician who knows exactly what to do to relieve joint pain and restore pain free movement. She is an excellent teacher, explaining why a position or movement is needed to provide correct alignment. I worked with her extensively and have shared my story with others who are living with the pain of arthritis. I sought out a therapist because I was in constant pain and unable to sleep through the night. Now...I continue to use the knowledge I gained from Christi and to do my postural exercises daily. I have many, many days that are pain free and when I begin to hurt I know exactly what I need to do about it. If I had not worked with Christi and learned so much, my life would be much less enjoyable than it is now.
Pamela, you're the most upbeat positive client I've ever worked with. At the beginning you would come in with so much pain, but your "can do" attitude was always there. We were able to get you out of pain because you believed that your body wanted to make it happen.
Jonathan Heinberg
Christi was amazing! Had me walking better after just one visit. The exercises she showed me have greatly improved my strength & helped alleviate some pain.
Jonathan, I know posture therapy is unusual so I thank you for coming in and letting me help.
Mf churro
Amazing! I had golfers' elbow in both of my elbows from lifting my mother up from her wheelchair. Christi helped me with my posture and some exercises that totally helped with my elbows! She took her time and explained everything that she was doing and why. I HIGHLY recommend Professor Posture!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I appreciate it more than you know.
Sofia Martinez
I have been seeing Christi for an almost 4 months now and I can NOT believe how amazing my results have been!!! Not only is my posture noticeably improving but I don’t have anymore aches and pains in my body. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Sofia, Thank you so much for the review. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your crazy schedule to do this.
olga pina
Christi Slaven is the best! She is very thorough in her assessments and identifies just the right “tricks” to release and balance the muscles that are creating issues. For me her exercise menu of just a few minutes a day can make a big difference in my gait and pain level.
Olga, thank you so much for taking time to do this for me. I know how demanding your life has been and it means the world to me that you would take the time to do this.

It's working!!! I've been going to Christi for two months now and can see and feel the difference. As a middle aged adult with mild scoliosis and uneven hips that have required ongoing chiropractic care, I've been frustrated that my posture pictures haven't shown much improvement with imbalances. I knew there had to be a solution - and it's Christi! Her very thorough assessment showed a whole slew of muscle imbalances, which left uncorrected, will only continue to undo the chiropractic adjustments that I keep getting as my muscles will just keep pulling my spine back out of place. I've been doing to work and stretches that Christi has been putting into the PTX Therapy app and the things that need to be loosened up are getting loose! The exercises are simple, the app is easy to use and I haven't had to purchase any expensive equipment or take a lot of time. EVERYONE has muscle imbalances. You won't believe the difference when you get them fixed. Call Christi for a better quality of life!
Alison, your hip and back pain is now in your control. You have been so wonderful at doing your exercises and giving me such valuable feedback about how they affected your body. These simple little things can make a big impact on your future!
Lisa Demmi
I just started seeing Christie and she helped me understand why my body is feeling the way it is. Very knowledgeable and looking forward To working with her to get my body Feeling good again!
Lisa, I am so excited about the road ahead of us. Watching your body get better is going to be so much fun!
Christy Tharp
I cannot recommend Christi enough, she is kind, knowledgeable and thorough. I was really struggling with chronic pain…especially after the onset of menopause. I’m astonished by how much it has helped and how quickly, in my hips, back, shoulder, and neck. She provided sound guidance, immediate relief, and an effective regimen I could easily follow at home.
Christy it has been such a joy to see you becoming more confident with your movements. Thank you for allowing me to be your guide!
Alex D.
I’ve been working out with professor posture for few months and I’m very happy with the results. Christi made a thorough analysis of my posture issues and explained them to me, which wasn’t obvious to me. The exercises she taught me are well suited and she keeps checking their effectiveness at every session, to ensure I spend my time effectively. After 8 sessions I had to move across the state and she offered me to continue using zoom. I was quite surprised how easy it was and the experience was not compromised at all. I’m very grateful she offered me this alternative, as it’s nice to save time on commute and there are drawbacks.
Alex, thank you so much for giving everyone a bird's eye view of in person sessions vs. sessions on zoom. I know that going virtual can seem less than ideal, and I'm so happy you shared your experience.
Will Greaves
I played football and rugby for a combined 23 years, so when PP first saw me, my body was a total wreck. Through her routines I can finally live a pain free life!
Will, Thank you so much for the review. Your body really has come a long way!
John Daniels
I really enjoyed working with Christi. She was able to significantly improve my posture and my neck/shoulder pain. I would highly recommend working with her.
Thank you for allowing me to help you John!
Dr. Carlos Garcia
After years of trying to address an issue with back discomfort, Professor Posture was able to help me get the the root of the problem. She has been an absolute delight to work with and I am so grateful that I was referred to her. She truly cares about her clients health and is so kind and compassionate. I highly recommend.
Carlos, Thank you for trusting me with your back discomfort. It means the world to me when my clients get results that allow them to get back to the activities and life they love!
Catherine Barnhill
My teen daughter is a dancer and avid reader, and because of the latter, her head and neck were forward, which made the dancing more difficult because she was off balance. We tried chiropractic and some other exercises, but nothing helped long-term. Her chiropractor referred us to Professor Posture, and she showed us that the problem actually started in my daughter's hips! Over the next couple of months she used exercises (with a cool phone app to keep her accountable and doing them correctly) and her photo mapping technology to get my daughter "on the line." Her improved posture is making dance so much easier for her now!
Catherine, Thank you for trusting me with your daughter's posture! She is always a joy to work with and is so dedicated to doing her exercises.
Bonnie Garrison
Christi provided a very thorough assessment and demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge in her field. While I have not received therapy sessions, I know many of her clients, and they consistently share how happy they are with the help and guidance she provides. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care truly make a difference. Highly recommended!
Thank you for coming in for your Posture Therapy assessment so you can better understand how your body works so you can live a healthy life!
Carole Brennan
I had my first consultation with Christi at Professor Posture in Tampa, and she was awesome! She really knew her stuff and took the time to understand my issues. Christi explained everything clearly and made me feel super comfortable. If you need expert advice and support, I highly recommend checking her out!
Carole, Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to have a Posture assessment. It was wonderful getting to help you. I can't wait to get my team together for the Alzheimer's walk!
Trixie Richter
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Professor Posture, Christi Slavin. Her wealth of knowledge about body mechanics, her genuine care and compassion, and the thoughtfully tailored therapeutic exercise plans she provides have been life-changing for me. When I first met Christi, I couldn't lift my left arm. I was terrified that surgery or painful injections were going to be my only options. But in just one visit, Christi gave me something I hadn't felt in a long time: hope. With her guidance and a commitment to the exercises she prescribed, I regained mobility and strength in my arm. The fear and frustration of not being able to do simple, everyday tasks like combing my hair, fastening my bra, or lifting objects disappeared as my range of motion returned. One of the most meaningful milestones came when I walked in my baccalaureate procession from seminary, carrying the Bible to the pulpit—completely free of pain. Recently, I faced a new challenge: an old Achilles injury in one foot and plantar fasciitis in the other. Once again, I turned to Christi, and she worked her magic. Her thoughtful care and exercises got me back on my feet—literally—and restored my ability to move without pain. As I often say, “Christi doesn’t just treat symptoms; she empowers you with knowledge, tools, and hope to reclaim your mobility and your life.” I wholeheartedly recommend anyone living with joint pain, limited mobility, or chronic discomfort to seek help from Professor Posture. Christi's expertise and encouragement make overcoming even long-term issues not just possible, but achievable in ways I never imagined. She truly transforms lives.
Trixie, WOW.. is all I can say. I was truly so humbled reading your words! Thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting me yet again to help you through this.
Nicole Heckley
Christi presented a posture class for my company virtually. The employees were raving about this class. She taught them important information about the body and why it's important to keep good posture. They enjoyed the exercises she taught them and are looking forward to using them daily in the office. The session was highly educational, engaging, and helped support our employees wellness. Would highly recommend.
Nicole, Thank you so much for allowing me to engage your employees! My primary goal is educating people on why Posture Matters. I enjoyed the opportunity to do that for your co workers.
Julie Moore
My experience with posture therapy began with Christi Slaven in 2018. I had been having chronic pain in my neck and low back. Starting with the first exercise she gave me at the clinic, when I stood up and walked a few steps, it was amazing how quickly I felt a shift in my whole body. It was as though everything was suddenly "balanced" and had immediate pain relief. It took a few weeks of therapy, doing each customize routine she created for my body to be pain free, but it absolutely worked! I have since moved away, but I've often picked up some of the old routines of exercises. Just yesterday I did two exercises and was quickly reminded of how well this method works! I highly recommend posture therapy with Christi.
Julie, I greatly appreciate your kind words!! I hope you keep going with your exercises and stay pain free.
Sarah Melo
I had a wonderful experience with Christi She was patience, kind, professional and eager to educate me. Thanks, Christi, for taking the time to show me what I can work now regarding my posture to avoid having to deal with it later. It was a fun experience too.. Christi is so easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Until next time! I highly recommend Professor Posture!
Sarah, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to not only come in for an assessment, but to then put this review up for me. You truly are one in a million.
Edward Kirk
Posture perfect, was able to point out exactly why I have so much pain in my back in one session. They know exactly what they’re doing. I highly recommend them!
Hi Edward! I am very much looking forward to making your posture perfect!
Tomi K (TomiAVTampa)
I highly recommend working with Christi. My posture was really bad and I had problems with knees & ankles and working with Christi put me on the right track to correct my issues with simple exercises. Christi was very knowledgeable and she gave me exercises based on what my posture was and showed me which muscles need strengthening to get my body aligned and functioning properly. She is also an amazing person and very kind and fun.
Tomi, I adore you! You are so insightful and an absolute joy to work with.
Barbara Pierce
Christi is amazing and extremely knowledgeable. She is patient and kind but most of all tailors the program to fit you personally. My hip pain from sitting all day at work is exponentially better. I highly recommend her for any type of chronic pain issue.
Barbara, thank you for trusting me with your pain, and allowing me to work with you! It was truly a pleasure.
Dustin Rudolph
Christi is an amazing therapist. I worked with her for my hip and shoulder issues. She was so in tune with what my body needed for exercises to fix my issues. She communicates well and has several different exercise options depending on what works for you as an individual. I would highly recommend her if you have any join or posture issues.
Thank you so much Dustin for being as amazing as you are!
Valerie Thomas
Working with Christi has been amazing! She is extremely understanding and adapts to a client needs. She gives clear instructions on the exercises she provides and communicates well. I recommend her to anyone that needs help getting out of pain.
Valerie, I truly appreciate your review. It was amazing to experience how dedicated you were to learning about your body's posture and it's relation to your pain!
Louise Pashkevich
Christi is AWESOME! I had been told that I needed a hip replacement by an orthopedic specialist and also an orthopedic surgeon. This was over three years ago. I had arthritis in my left hip and my hips were misaligned which caused my hips to lock, preventing me from moving. Due to previous experiences with surgery, I decided to investigate other non-surgical methods of addressing my hip condition. When I learned about postural therapy, I decided to pursue it. I had Christi as my postural therapist for over a year and have made so much progress. She has made my quality of life so much better. Christi is extremely positive, professional, competent, knowledgeable and effective. Even though my problems were quite complex, she has been able to ease my discomfort and enable me to move again. Through the various exercises that were tailored for my needs, I have been able to resume many of my normal activities including my aggressive pickleball playing and my hips haven't locked in over a year. I highly recommend her to others seeking a non-surgical means of alleviating pain and restoring movement of the body. I'm very thankful for all the support, help and success that resulted from Christi's therapy for me. I continue to do daily exercises that were suggested for my specific hip/back issues and doing the exercises is key to my movement.
Louise, if I had set up a "star client" award you would have received it every time you came in. The insights you were able to communicate to me about your body made my job so much easier!
Larissa Casey
I'm very grateful to find Christi. Started to seing her for my hip issues that created the frozen shoulder. Where doctors focused on one part of the body only, Christi further looks at the body as a whole finding the root cause of the injury. From the very first day, I felt relief to the pain. Repetition and consistency is key to recovery and live a life pain free! I will continue my journey with her! Thanks Christi for been kind and attentive.
Larissa, it is always been such a pleasure to work with you. The feedback you provide me with for each and every exercise is extraordinarily helpful. I couldn't do my job half as well without your feedback!
Bridgette Bello
Christi is an absolute professional and pleasant person to work with. She truly cares and wants to help. It isn't "just business" to her and I've absolutely enjoyed knowing her and benefiting from her help.
Bridgette, it was such a pleasure to work with you to so you can be pain free. You are such a power house in the Tampa Bay Area that is was an honor to help you!
Tara Moody
Professor Posture is a wealth of knowledge. I have been to many different kinds of professionals to help relieve pain in the past but none ever took the time to explain to me why I was having the recurring pain. After a short consultation I already had ideas of things I needed to correct. Christi was able to answer my questions with ease and provided visuals. This was time well spent.
Thank you Tara for taking the time to learn and then implementing changes! I want to put you,the client, in charge of getting back to the things you love to do!
Earl Wertheim
I've had the privilege of working with Christie for the past three and a half years and have found her to be extremely proficient in physical therapy. Christie sets up a program for you based on your body's needs rather than using random exercises. I worked with her in her studio until Covid hit us and have been working with her at home through a Zoom connection with great results. I highly recommend her for her efficiency, professionalism, and dependability.
Thank you for trusting me with your health and taking the time to write this ber kind review.
Ann Jerome
After breaking some bones in a fall at age 63, I didn't think I'd ever be fully mobile again. But I am! Thanks to working with Christi, I'm more stable on my feet than I've been in many years, and I also feel flexible and strong. I will never be without this life-changing practice! Update, two years later: continuing to feel great as I continue working with Christi, but I had an injury recently that put me in tremendous pain. Christi met with me immediately and gave me some simple exercises that had me pain-free the next day, and back to my normal exercise routine two days later. It looks like magic, but it's due to Christi's tremendous knowledge and expertise. I'm so grateful!
Anne, I can't thank you enough for reaching out to me so we could resolve the underlying reason for the pain.
Timothy Lanz
I worked with Christina for almost one year and she transformed my posture. Her knowledge of body positioning and movement as we as physiology is impressive. I came to her with issues with my lower back, hips and lower legs. Christina found other areas that were contributing to my lower body issues. Amazing! I would highly recommend Christina's Professor Posture program as I am more agile and resilient to injury as a result.
Timothy, I truly appreciate you taking the time to write this wonderful review. I was able to identify the issues, but you did the work to get yourself out of pain!
Sue Griner
Both my son and I have worked with Christi for several years. She is the epitome of professionalism combined with sincere empathy for the client. The exercise menus she has provided have resulted in extraordinary improvement in the pain I have experienced in my knee, and the problems my son has with his lower back. She listens and fits exercise menus to the needs of the individual. I highly recommend her and only wish she were located in Tallahassee.
Sue, you and Reynolds are amazing people, and it was my pleasure to work with both of you.
Wesley Clay
Within two sessions I experienced relief in my back from a shoulder injury. HIGHLY recommend. To my crossfit people, Christi is a must-see health professional.
Thank you Wesley for the kind words! I love to help people feel better and get back to doing the fun things in life!
Amy Willis
I had a consult with Christi after several consults with PT after a surgery. I was left with arm pain and limited range of motion. She took her time and listened to my symptoms and instantly gave me information on the muscles that were affected and I reviewed exercises that would help . These exercises have helped tremendously and has increased my range of motion. I feel grateful for someone who took the time to listen to me and my symptoms.
Amy thank you so much for trusting me with your shoulder mobility. It must've been very frustrating for you with a full time job, husband, and small child to care for.
Rick Riddle
I worked with Christi in 2021 to overcome chronic pain in my right shoulder. She identified the postural weaknesses that were leading to the pain, and with her help I was able to correct the problem. I have been free of the shoulder pain since that time. Christi’s directions are clear, and she readily explains the corrective therapy with sufficient detail. She is perpetually professional and cheerful and always directs her full attention to her patient’s needs. I was pleased with her work from beginning to pain free end!
Rick, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you. You did your exercises regularly which is so helpful in the recovery!
Eileen Bradley
I have worked with Christi Slaven on and off for quite a few years. When I first found Christi, I was in serious pain. I could barely stand up and my lower back was killing me. Christi designed various workouts for me and over time, I almost forgot how much pain I had been in. Now, I keep some sessions on account for whenever I need a tweak here and there. My husband also used her program, guidance and expertise. Although he didn't have anything seriously wrong with him, he is getting older and wanted to preserve his health, posture and mobility to the greatest extent possible. Now, we both try to do our stretches every night and find it makes a huge difference in our well being and my happiness (I'm subject to aches and pains). One other thing I want to mention is that Chisti is a phenomenal therapist! Not only does she provide the proper exercises to help straighten out your problem, she genuinely cares as is evidenced by her follow up. I strongly recommend Christi and the work she does!
Eileen, thank you so so much. Doing your exercises is the key, and you're both very dedicated. I miss giving you a hug since so many of our sessions have been virtual lately, but I'm always happy to see your face no matter how it happens.
Pamela Skyrme
Christi is a talented diagnostician who knows exactly what to do to relieve joint pain and restore pain free movement. She is an excellent teacher, explaining why a position or movement is needed to provide correct alignment. I worked with her extensively and have shared my story with others who are living with the pain of arthritis. I sought out a therapist because I was in constant pain and unable to sleep through the night. Now...I continue to use the knowledge I gained from Christi and to do my postural exercises daily. I have many, many days that are pain free and when I begin to hurt I know exactly what I need to do about it. If I had not worked with Christi and learned so much, my life would be much less enjoyable than it is now.
Pamela, you're the most upbeat positive client I've ever worked with. At the beginning you would come in with so much pain, but your "can do" attitude was always there. We were able to get you out of pain because you believed that your body wanted to make it happen.
Jonathan Heinberg
Christi was amazing! Had me walking better after just one visit. The exercises she showed me have greatly improved my strength & helped alleviate some pain.
Jonathan, I know posture therapy is unusual so I thank you for coming in and letting me help.
Mf churro
Amazing! I had golfers' elbow in both of my elbows from lifting my mother up from her wheelchair. Christi helped me with my posture and some exercises that totally helped with my elbows! She took her time and explained everything that she was doing and why. I HIGHLY recommend Professor Posture!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I appreciate it more than you know.
Sofia Martinez
I have been seeing Christi for an almost 4 months now and I can NOT believe how amazing my results have been!!! Not only is my posture noticeably improving but I don’t have anymore aches and pains in my body. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Sofia, Thank you so much for the review. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your crazy schedule to do this.
olga pina
Christi Slaven is the best! She is very thorough in her assessments and identifies just the right “tricks” to release and balance the muscles that are creating issues. For me her exercise menu of just a few minutes a day can make a big difference in my gait and pain level.
Olga, thank you so much for taking time to do this for me. I know how demanding your life has been and it means the world to me that you would take the time to do this.
