PERSONAL TRAINING

I help clients of all ages and fitness levels improve their health and wellbeing.  My goal is to help you meet and exceed your own expectations.  To help you achieve a healthy body weight and image, whether it be in postural analysis and correction, body transformation, an increase in strength, sport specific training, rehabilitative exercise or simply maintaining a healthy level of functional ability.

POST REHABILITATION

I have substantial experience working with clients in a post-rehabilitative capacity.  I am skilled and certified, in many different disciplines of health coaching.  I use my extensive knowledge and understating of biochemics ensuring the use of proper form for each exercise and efficient function to help restore your body to full movement.  I can pick out a compensatory movement pattern and cue a movement to completely change the way you move and feel.  My post rehabilitation expertise also includes exercise for special populations which include, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological disorders. These groups include some that may have special needs or concerns, such as fiobromyalgia, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, cerebrovascular accident, ACL rupture, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tear, and cervical strain to name a few, which may require extra attention during their exercise program.

MYOFASCIAL THERAPIST

Myofascial therapy is a safe and very effective hands on technique that involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Myofascial Stretching is a self-treatment technique that results in permanent re-lengthening of shortened, bound-down connective tissue and has the capacity to dramatically improve health and quality of life.

It follows the principles of Myofascial Release, utilizing sustained pressure and active elongation into restrictions in the fascial system.

Fascia is a tough connective tissue that surrounds every cell from head to toe like a three-dimensional spider web.   It provides support and flexibility to all structures of the body.

Fascial restrictions are hard, tight, generally tender areas in the body.

Injury, trauma, chronic inflammation, and poor posture cause these fascial fibers to adhere, tighten, shorten and thicken

ELDOA CLASSES

The Eldoa are very precise Postural Exercises (LOADS) The primary goal being to increase the space within a chosen articulation. As the Eldoa "create Space", there is an improvement in joint mechanics, increased blood Flow, reduced pressure on the disks, a reduction of pain, Spinal disk hydration, better muscle tone, improved posture and a sense of well being and awareness.The Eldoa postures target a specific joint region to provide relief from pain and restore balance.

PILATES

Pilates is a form of low-impact exercises that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility.  It puts emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and balance in the entire body.  Pilates system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficult from beginner to advanced.  I will work with you to help improve physical strength, flexibility, and posture and enhance mental awareness. 

NUTRITION
