My client Jose eliminated his debilitating neck pain, head aches, and migraines in just 6 weeks of small group corrective exercise coaching. When I met him he hadn’t done much exercising in over 2 years, was sitting 40 hours per week at home working remotely, and would experience pain in-between his shoulder blades, shoulders, and neck giving him migraines that would suck all of the energy out of him. These target areas where actually just compensating for his torso, lats, the front and back of his legs, calves, and toes which lacked the strength, mobility, and flexibility they should have. We recently did a follow up movement assessment showing that his neck, shoulder blades, torso, lats, and calves move terrific again. Achieving this eliminated his neck pain, headaches, and migraines making him feel full of life, and now can enjoy more traveling, hiking, and other adventures with his wife and daughter. A few exciting wins were how much progress he made in restoring his hamstring mobility. He now has 16 more inches of mobility from before. His favorite transformation is increasing the strength of his ab stabilizers doing loaded planks which went from 25lbs up to 180lbs.

My client Jeff worked the overnight shift in a massive warehouse managing tons of employees, walked 15-20,000 steps per shift, had poor posture, had super tight muscles from head to toe, and nothing was working to reclaim the strength he had from his college football days. 

After just a few months of corrective exercise coaching he reclaimed the mobility and flexibility he use to have back in college, could bend over and touch his toes again, and just by restoring his mobility and flexibility he instantly got stronger which he loved seeing his back squat immediately go up 75lbs and his bench press by 20lbs.

When Reka got started, she felt so slow and out of shape. She hadn’t worked out for a long time, and was dealing with lack of stability and pain in her low back, hip, and knee when doing projects around home, walking her dogs, and massaging her clients. After 3 months of small group corrective exercise coaching she could squat to parallel again, no more knee pain/instability, low back and hips are feeling great, and can enjoy working, walking her dogs, and traveling again pain free. 

My client Phil went from having low back pain for 20 years and zero flexibility to no pain, stronger than ever, and has terrific flexibility. When I met him he was hands down the most inflexible person I’ve ever worked with. He recently had retired, spent far too many years isolated in a chair working for corporate America, giving him legs that functioned like a pair of stilts. His biggest ailment was his low back pain that he’s dealt with for 20 years, which prevented him from being able to bend over or squat down to pick up something.

After 1 year of small group corrective exercise coaching he can easily perform his daily habits, no longer needs to power through his exhausting low back pain, enjoys active excursions on vacation with his wife, and works on exotic cars again.

When I met Tim he was suffering from persistent knee pain, frozen shoulder, and low back pain after a few crossfit injuries.

He thought these problems were just part of getting old, you just learn to live with it, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

After 5 months of small group corrective exercise coaching he was able to squat, touch his toes, shoulders move/feel great again, and now doesn’t have to work around sore knees when working on his race car, and can wash and wax his yacht all by himself.

When I met my client Mike. He was sitting for over 12 hours per day at his stressful job between local meetings, flying to meeting, and commuting. His body was stuck in a slouched position, which was giving him some shoulder and neck discomfort, and negatively impacting his energy levels throughout the day. After 3 months of small group corrective exercise coaching he no longer slouched, his neck and shoulder felt much better, and he had more natural lasting energy to enjoy his day.

Cameron reached out to me because his body didn’t function or feel the way he envisioned it should in his early 30s. He works a full time desk job, bikes to work the 2 days he has to go into the office, but didn’t have the strength to lift his bike over things to get it up to his office, his lower back and neck hurt all the time, his posture wasn’t the best, and he didn’t have the confidence that he could ski this winter or do chores around his house without hurting himself. He set the goal of being able to do a 1 minute plank in 1 month to help his posture, lower back pain, and improve his confidence that he could ski this winter without hurting himself.

After 1 month of small group corrective exercise coaching, he exceeded his goal and held a plank for 1 minute 13 seconds. In addition by targeting all of the weak and tight areas of his body, he increased his strength by 100%, eliminated his lower back and neck pain, can touch his toes again for the first time in 10 years, and has regained the confidence that he can downhill ski this winter and help out around the house without hurting himself.

He needed corrective exercise coaching support for his chronic knee pain. In just 3 months he’s fully functional and pain free.

He started out with a functional movement test to discover what muscles are weak and tight causing his pain.

His 5 star google review contains his inspiring story:

“I was experiencing some nagging knee pain, which I later learned was caused by a muscle tear in one of my thigh muscles. I hired 2 different physical therapists and followed their routines for over 1 year and the pain was less but it never went away affecting my daily life more than I liked.

I decided to get another opinion and found Andrew. His functional movement test and follow up report gave me detailed information and clarity on what’s going on and what my body needs. Andrew’s entire approach and corrective exercise program was more comprehensive than what I got from my 2 physical therapists and within a few weeks my knee pain was next to non-existent! I am very grateful for everything he has done for my knee pain, and if you have read this far and are looking for another opinion I would highly recommend reaching out to him!

Thanks again Andrew!”

My client David, who just retired, has been living with bone on bone in his hip for over 10 years. We’ve strengthened his stomach, back, legs, and feet muscles and tendons to compensate for the lack of cartilage he has. 

After just 1 year of small group corrective exercise he’s gone from doing body weight on a variety of structural exercises that support his hip up to 500+ lbs on them.

This has helped boost his strength on tons of other exercises, extend the lifespan of his degrading hip, and most importantly allowed him to keep up, pain free on 12 mile long hikes in the black hills with his 20 year old boys.

Long Term Goals Achieved:

Lifting 500+ pounds on a plate squat iso and calf raise iso

Short Term Goals Achieved:

Get piriformis hip flexion to 120 degrees (started at 100 degrees)

Eliminate upper groin tension

Abduct my hip 50 degrees with no pain
