Services

Personal Training

Customized fitness programs address individual biomechanics and health goals. Combining strength training, mobility work, and functional exercises, we help clients recover from injuries and improve athletic performance. Our approach integrates movement analysis to correct imbalances and prevent re-injury.

Sports Injury Rehab

Specialized rehabilitation for sports-related injuries uses video analysis and manual therapy to identify biomechanical issues. Treatment plans incorporate corrective exercises to restore mobility, strengthen weak areas, and improve sport-specific movement patterns for long-term recovery.

Movement Education

This modality teaches clients to recognize and correct dysfunctional movement patterns contributing to pain. Through guided practice and sensory feedback, individuals learn to improve posture, coordination, and body mechanics for daily activities and sports.

Manual Therapy

Certified neuromuscular therapy techniques target soft tissue restrictions and joint dysfunction. This hands-on approach releases muscle tension, improves circulation, and addresses chronic pain by treating both symptoms and underlying structural imbalances.

Ergonomic Consultation

Assessments identify ergonomic risk factors in work environments. Custom recommendations for posture, equipment setup, and movement breaks help prevent repetitive strain injuries and reduce work-related musculoskeletal discomfort.

This was only my first meeting with John but in that time I felt respected and understood. He met me where I am at. I feel hopeful that I will get stronger and more confident in my abilities despite my many medical issues and injuries. He is compassionate and grounding. I came back home with more knowledge to help myself already.

I recommend John to anyone suffering from joint pain or weakness. In the few months that I've worked with John, his targeted exercises have greatly reduced my shoulder pain and begun to restore strength.

John's approach is straightforward, logical, positive - and exactly what I needed. Really helped with some intense lower back pain that was debilitating. He focused on correcting everyday habits, and then moved into beneficial exercises and stretches. He is super positive and a great teacher. Highly recommend.

I have been working with John for about six years, both on improving fitness and recovering from injuries (mostly shoulder but also knee and back). When I started this journey I was struggling physically and emotionally, and really needed both a plan and support. He understands the mind-body connection and is willing to discuss the whole package-exercise, nutrition, sleep, and self-care. His approach is very pragmatic.

For example, I had struggled with hamstring pain for months until he evaluated the way I was walking, and the fix was fairly straightforward. I also appreciate John for taking a positive "can-do" approach and he very effectively puts the brakes on my tendency to be self-critical. I could write an essay on all the things I like about John, but I would have to say that one of his greatest strengths is his ability to motivate me to take better care of myself in all respects.

John has been patient, encouraging and challenging - a great combo for getting my health back on track. Originally went to John for a persistent ankle injury and quickly found myself tackling strength and mobility - all areas that I needed to focus on. I'm really grateful to John for his skill, knowledge and empowering approach to incorporating health and fitness into my daily routine.

John is great! He worked me through a very painful but successful shoulder treatment. I can now play golf pain free. He knows his stuff, follows up, provides simple and effective home exercises, and tells you what he is doing the whole time. One of the best PT/Massage persons I have ever experienced.
