Gina Hogshead

Meet

Her passion for myofascial release began with her own journey through chronic pain. After a heavy barbell fell onto her back before a squat, Gina experienced debilitating back pain for two years. Despite seeking help from multiple healthcare professionals, she was told she might never lift weights again. Discovering John Barnes Myofascial Release® changed the course of her recovery and transformed her perspective on what may be possible when the body is approached differently.

That experience became a driving force in her clinical practice. As Gina began incorporating myofascial release into her work with patients, she witnessed meaningful improvements in their function and quality of life. She also saw cases in which this approach helped patients explore alternatives to surgery. These experiences strengthened her belief in individualized care that looks beyond symptoms and considers the person as a whole.

Gina’s interest in brain health and nervous system regulation also grew from personal experience. After witnessing the impact of Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) on a family member, she became interested in how this approach could complement traditional rehabilitation. Her own experience with anxiety further deepened that interest. Following the birth of her daughter, LENS became a meaningful part of her personal journey as she navigated the transition into motherhood, managed anxiety, and returned to running a clinic while balancing the demands of work and family. These experiences inspired her to incorporate LENS into her practice and expand the ways she supports her patients.

Today, Gina integrates John Barnes Myofascial Release®, Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS), and individualized exercise prescription to address the interconnected relationship between the brain, nervous system, and body. Her approach combines clinical expertise with personal understanding, recognizing that every individual has a unique story, challenges, and goals.

At Integrative Brain and Body Therapy, Gina is passionate about helping people feel heard, explore new possibilities for recovery, and return to the activities they love. She believes care should be compassionate, individualized, and focused on the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a collection of symptoms.
