Hi, I'm Justin.

I spent my entire life in the fitness industry trying to become the healthiest, most athletic version of myself. But I always found myself confronted with pain whether that was my back, a knee, a shoulder, etc.  --- This led me to pursue a degree in exercise science and a ton of certifications to become a leading personal trainer with a major fitness chain. Even though I had so much more control over these pains, they were always still lurking in the shadows waiting for the right moment to pop up again.  My life was a roller coaster of feeling invincible in the gym to lying on my back on the floor for weeks because I would throw it out. 

 

I also realized just how many people both inside and outside of the health and fitness industry were dealing with the same chronic aches, pains, and injuries I was. With all of my education and experience, I still wasn’t able to find a long term solution to these issues.

 

I tried every alternative method — chiropractors, physical therapy, massage, yoga, and so many more — and while some helped in the short term, nothing seemed to fix things in the long term.  Finally, in my mid 20's I suffered a severe back injury, herniating a few discs in my lower back. I was told that either the same types of physical therapy, or medical intervention like surgery and injection therapy were the only solutions. 

 

I couldn’t understand …I was supposed to be a highly educated fitness professional. I began to question everything I learned in a decade in this industry. So I spent years looking for every alternative perspective, research, and method that I could find for new answers. 

 

I realized through these findings that other perspectives do exist, and by truly changing my approach I finally was able to get myself out of the cycle of chronic pain and injury with only one thing - movement. No pills, no alternate therapies, and no medical procedures. 

 

Today, I’ve developed and use a completely new approach to movement and functional health to help people get out pain and prevent injury from happening the same way I did,  so they can truly live their life without fear and limitation.
