Optimize your movement potential!

Optimize your movement potential!

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and athletic performance coach, I help individuals upgrade their physical capacity while developing long-term resiliency and freedom from recurring injury cycles. I do this through an integrated blend of personal training, physical therapy, and performance coaching services, all provided by myself. I go beyond the mere symptoms of impairment by identifying and addressing root causes of functional limitation in order to make lasting improvement practical, adaptable, and scalable with regard to your goals.

For the athlete in everyone.

Optimize Your Movement Potential

  • On the other hand, some think they can just “exercise” and that is sufficient. However, without specific intention regarding “how” your body moves and organizes itself, general exercise (in itself) will not address the underlying dysfunctions that lead to sub-optimal performance, recurring injury cycles, and/or chronic pain.

    This is why I make it my aim to de-mystify functional performance and make it attainable for those desiring long-term change. While I employ a wide range of interventions based on each individual's presentation and goals, the end game is always the same - to improve your functional capacity, while making it practical and sustainable.

    “Functional capacity” is simpy the ability to repetitively and sufficiently perform the activity demands of your daily life, recreation, and/or sport. If you improve the way you move, you improve all of the above and much more.

What I Offer

  • A wide range of movement dysfunctions can be resolved through personal training sessions outlined below, however, many other issues require more specific diagnosis and hands-on intervention that necessitates an active physical therapy license.

    These cases may be post-surgical or may require a higher level of background understanding of the body and can only be performed as a “licensed physical therapist” (and may also require a physician referral).

    There can be some overlap between interventions employed through these specialized physical therapy interventions and other performance tracks offered, however these physical therapy visits may be preliminarily necessary in order to first unravel specific dysfunctions prior to transitioning into higher-level functional training progressions. These often require more hands-on intervention. A proper evaluation is first necessary to develop a targeted plan of care.

  • Whil e it may not take long to improve basic symptoms such as “pain”, pursuing a healthier and more efficient movement lifestyle is a commitment, requiring intentionality and a willingness to learn. My goal is help you marry your intention with your goals to help you produce long-term, attainable change.

    When it comes to our “movement restoration” programming, think personal training with a highly specialized focus on restoring efficient posture, mobility, and body awareness as opposed to addressing overall fitness. Catered to your goals, I work with you to improve the way you move and equip you to develop a level of self-sufficiency in the early stage of your movement journey.

  • After improving your foundational movement quality, the next step is to expand your functional capacity through pinpointed strength, mobility, and endurance training. If you are looking to improve your overall functional fitness under the guidance and direction of someone who understands biomechanics as well as human anatomy and physiology at a doctoral level - This focus is for you!

    Be it chronic joint pain, generalized fatigue, weakness, lack of endurance, there is plenty of proof that your body is capable of drastic positive change if stimulated in the right manner. Training plans can be modified to develop a basic level of functional independence or can be scaled to high-level resistance exercise with complex compound movements - tailored according to your goals.

    * For true long-term improvement, I request that individuals be willing to commit to a training and development process of at least 2 months with the end goal being lifestyle change that can be maintained.

  • Sport performance tracks are for anyone looking to take their performance to a high-level.

    This still involves improving movement mechanics, strength, power, and endurance, but with increased focus on high-level sport-specific training - whether that be field sports, track, CrossFit, Power lifting, martial arts, etc. Think personal training with a keen focus on developing necessary adaptations for sport specific performance.

    There are many sport performance programs that emphasize strength, power, speed, agility etc. However, not all programs integrate preliminary emphasis on biomechanical awareness and movement efficiency through neuro-muscular training - neither do they take into account how various tissues and body-systems adapt to different stimuli. This could greatly limits an athletes capacity and leaves them far more prone to injury.

    This may be a good fit for you if you are looking to develop a competitive level of functional performance. More details are provided on our services page.

    * For true long-term improvement, I request that individuals be willing to commit to a training and development process of at least 3 months.

  • Online coaching options provide remote coaching calls and personalized programming for individuals to perform at their convenience with routine check-ins and progressions along the way.

    While these online coaching calls are more commonly performed in conjunction with variable in-person visits or online curriculum, coaching calls are offered individually.
