Mobility Training

I think of Mobility as the intersection of Flexibility and Strength, and the training I provide will help you increase both across a full range of joint motions. There’s little point being strong if you’re inflexible, just as flexibility can be dangerous if it’s not paired with enough strength to safely control your body’s movements.

The training I offer focuses on your core, your back and your feet. This isn’t about bulking-up. Instead we’ll focus on helping you obtain the strength and flexibility needed to live the life you want. In addition to increasing your mobility this will also improve your balance and proprioception, which is a fancy way of referring to your bodily awareness as you move through space.

Because I pair Mobility Training with Facial Counterstain work, you’ll see significant changes that will quickly transform your everyday experiences.

My Mobility Training is unique in that I offer it hand-in-hand with Fascial Counterstrain work. I combine these two because I’ve found that doing so generates significant, long-lasting results. This approach also allows us to be nimble and responsive to your body’s day-to-day needs. When working with me you can expect to experience less pain, have fewer movement limitations and establish proper muscle patterning that will make you less-likely to repeat old and harmful patterns.

Let me give an example. Imagine you have a long-standing injury. Manual therapy may help reduce inflammation and free up some movements. That’s great, but if you don’t learn how to properly strengthen and control your body through that new range, you’re very likely (aka: guaranteed) to end up back where you were. Conversely, training without addressing chronic inflammation will leave you feeling good immediately after exercising (endorphins!), but that will rapidly fade and you’ll be right where you started.

That’s a silly cycle. Worse, it’s an expensive one.

My approach is linear and cyclical at the same time. We’ll begin by reducing inflammation and pain with Fascial Counterstrain work. As those decrease, we’ll immediately capitalize on your newfound freedoms with Mobility Training. We’ll circle back to Fascial Counterstrain anytime it’s needed, and then bounce back to Mobility Training. Having both available ensures you’ll learn proper ways of moving your body that will keep you healthy, pain-free and mobile.

The last unique aspect of my approach involves learning. The human body is absolutely amazing, and when you train with me you’ll improve your anatomical knowledge and understand how your body is designed to move. Greater knowledge = greater empowerment, which means you’ll be better equipped to keep yourself healthy for the remainder of your life.

Mobility Training is only available after you’ve completed at least one Fascial Counterstrain appointment. That initial appointment will begin to clear-up inflammation and address underlying injuries. It will also include strength and stability tests, range of motion assessments, discussions of your health history, and allows us to set clear and realistic goals.

The workouts themselves will vary based on your personal goals. Generally they’ll involve a short warm-up, focused movement training, and warm-down breathing exercises. Emphasis will be placed on your core, your back and your feet. These workouts will be challenging but scaled to your capacities.

Afterward you should plan on eating something healthy and making sure you stay properly hydrated for the remainder of the day. If you’re participating in an ongoing training block, I’ll email you check-ins, PDFs, videos and routines you can utilize on your own time.

I offer adaptable plans based on your schedule and budget. You can book individual sessions or do extended, 4-6 week training blocks. As with most everything in life you’ll see faster results if you’re able to commit consistent time and effort, but you’ll still see changes with limited but focused work.

• Single sessions: $150/hour or $75/30 minutes

• 4 Week Block: $1200 for eight, 60 minute sessions

• 6 Week Block: $1750 for twelve, 60 minute sessions

Block sessions will include full workout PDFs that you can keep and use as a reference moving forward.

This training is designed to establish functional movement patterns that will stay with you for the rest of your life. It will be challenging but rewarding, and will require a high level of personal accountability, patience, and a willingness to show up and do the work. You must be prepared to be an active participant in your own progress and growth as these sorts of changes can’t be achieved passively.
