 Neuromuscular Reeducation Expert: Pamela Reif https://setupstrong.com

Pamela is by far one of the most knowledgeable professionals that  I have the honor to call my mentor. 

From her unique training in chronic disease prevention, she translated hard science into the design of educational programs to reverse preventable suffering. Pamela has shared ongoing research to help a wide variety of people to feel truly good when they work, move, and rest. Apart from her teaching, here is a snapshot of my academic and professional accomplishments:

• Masters of Science, Epidemiology (Stanford U. School of Medicine; trained at Stanford Prevention Research Center)
• One of the first 10 women in science and medicine featured for PBS’s Makers, Women who Make America 
• Numerous presentations to academic leaders, including at the Mayo Clinic, Harvard U., Northwestern U., Stanford U.
