Introduction:
Welcome to Warriors4Wellness! My name is Terri Dix-Greer. I am a retired physical therapist now working as a health coach. While my extensive Physical Therapy experience provides valuable insight, my role today is centered on empowering individuals to make informed, sustainable choices about their health rather than delivering traditional health related treatment.
As a wellness coach, I will work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify, pursue, and achieve personal goals related to overall health and well-being. Rather than prescribing specific treatments, a wellness coach supports clients through a client-centered, behavior-change process that focuses on using their strengths, values, and motivations to make sustainable lifestyle changes. Coaches help clients set realistic goals, explore obstacles, and build strategies to improve areas such as nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and emotional well-being.

Telehealth Services for Empowered Wellness
You might wonder how a wellness provider could work with you without seeing you in person? I have an exceptional record in the use of virtual technology for chronic pain management and wellness coaching: I was ranked #5 in the VA for number of video visits in OH, IN, KY, and MI in 2020 and #33 in the nation in the VA system for video visits in 2021. I have gained more than 15,000 hours of experience in working exclusively in wellness with the chronic pain population and have consulted and worked with more than 1300 individuals with this very complex diagnosis and with many other chronic diagnoses such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, diabetes, and obesity, to name a few. Recently, I completed a 13 week specialized certification which has provided me with advanced knowledge related to wholistic nutrition for chronic pain management.
The 5 Pillars of Wellness
Rest and Recovery
Learn strategies that help improve sleep and recovery from exercise and activity. Research shows that sleep has significant impact on pain, brain function, sex hormones, inflammation and weight management.
Nutrition
Learn the ways in which nutrition can impact and improve chronic pain, inflammation, cellular stress, weight management and overall wellness. Join one of our functional nutrition classes or schedule an individual coaching session.
Movement
Decreasing sedentary activity is a must in respect to pain management and overall wellness. Movement has been shown to improve pain tolerance, sleep, heart and brain function, flexibility and strength and even produce "hope molecules"!
Stress Management
Research shows that practices such as deep breathing, mindfulness, meditation and guided motor imagery significantly decrease stress and pain and improve overall wellness. You can learn these practices in an individual or group setting.
Resilience
Finding meaning and purpose, helping others, and being part of a group have been shown to increase resilience, decreasing the intensity of pain and the perceived impact that pain has on one's life. Come join one of our groups. We will offer you a sense of belonging!
