ABOUT MY APPROACH

Simply prescribing a certain exercise for a specific problem isn't always effective. As a corrective exercise specialist, I focus on specific corrective movement protocols that greatly improve client outcomes. By understanding the necessary parameters for effective movement application, I'm able to provide tailored solutions to correct dysfunctions in the body's circuitry and therefore movement.

I use specific corrective movement protocols that involve prescribing first eye and then body movement drills that stimulate the brain to coordinate and control movement in a new and improved way. This approach can help to reset problems in the circuitry and improve movement patterns. As a result, my clients experience increased mobility, improved stability, and reduced pain.

Once we've stimulated your body to resolve a problem, we can then look at novel methods of long-term strength training based on specific movement skills. This approach can help to improve their overall physical fitness and prevent future injuries.

By using specific corrective movement protocols, I'm able to provide clients with a customized and effective approach to their wellness goals. They see noticeable improvements in their physical abilities, which can help build trust in their body.
