Roots Integrative Therapies

Please join us in welcoming Roots newest Pelvic Health Therapist, Dr. Erin Johnas! 🌟🌺😀

Erin Johnas PT, DPT, earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Quinnipiac University and has specialized in pelvic health since the beginning of her career.

She has a particular love for biomechanics and the integration of the body as a dynamic, breathing, and connected system.

Her broad clinical background allows her to support each patient through a holistic, individualized lens—meeting them with both compassion and expertise.

From surgery recovery to walking a mile plus, three times a day! 🎉

Going from managing just a few hundred feet post-surgery to hitting mileage milestones takes hard work, patience, and consistency.

We are so proud to share this inspiring progress and cheer our clients on every step of the way! ✨

✨ Not your typical physical therapy. ✨

If you’ve never had a physical therapist work in your armpit, you might be missing the root cause of your shoulder, neck, or rib pain!

At Roots our Manual Physical Therapy goes beyond standard exercises. We take a hands-on, full-body approach to find and fix what’s actually driving your discomfort.

What does this mean for you? Our treatment may include:

👋 1. Mechanical Treatment We restore proper mobility to your tissues. Yes, that includes targeted soft tissue and neural mobilization in complex areas like the axilla (armpit) to release stubborn, deep-seated restrictions that stretch all the way through your shoulder and chest.

🧠 2. Neuromuscular Treatment Once the tissues can move, we get your nervous system and muscles talking to each other again. We use techniques like PNF and developmental patterning to “reset” the system, waking up sleepy muscles and calming down overactive ones.

💪 3. Motor Control Finally, we lock in those changes. Through breathing exercises and functional movement training, we build the muscle memory you need to stay pain-free long after you leave the clinic.

We don’t just treat the symptoms, we discover the root cause.

📍 Find us in the West End of Portsmouth, NH

Ever leave the gym feeling tighter, stiffer, or more sore in your joints than when you walked in? 🛑

Traditional gym workouts are great for isolating muscles, but they often forget one major thing: how your body actually moves in real life. Life doesn’t happen on a machine. It requires you to twist, bend, reach, and lift without pain.

If you’re ready to bridge the gap between fitness and true physical freedom, you need Functional Personal Training with Bryan Waltimyer at Roots Integrative Therapies.

Bryan isn’t just a personal trainer. He is a trained Manual Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) with an expert eye for biomechanics. He doesn’t just give you a workout—he analyzes how your joints and muscles interact to:

✅ Fix hidden movement flaws before they cause injury

✅ Safe-proof your body if you’re transitioning out of physical therapy

✅ Build real-world strength, balance, and core stability

✅ Keep you doing the hobbies you love, pain-free

Whether you’re recovering from an old injury, an athlete wanting to move more efficiently, or simply looking to live with less stiffness, Bryan builds a custom roadmap for your unique body.
