Beyond Personal Training: Performance & Recovery Integration

Most people choose a trainer to get stronger, but they eventually quit because of a nagging injury—a sore lower back, aching knees, or cranky shoulders. At typical big-box gyms, most trainers avoid the area and have you do something else.

I take a different approach.

Why You Choose Movement by Design

You aren't just looking for someone to count your reps; you are looking for someone to manage your physical system. My role is to bridge the gap between high-level strength training and clinical manual therapy.

Because I am both a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), I don’t just watch you move—I understand exactly why you are struggling to move well. If you walk into the studio with back tightness or knee discomfort, we don’t have to cancel your session. I can address the issue immediately, either by mobilizing tight tissue or teaching you to correctly stabilize and brace hyper-mobile joints, and then ensure you can still perform safely and effectively.

The Dual-Lens Approach

My protocol is based on two integrated functions:

  • Corrective Strength: I use the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to identify any weak links in your movement patterns. I build your strength program around fixing these gaps, ensuring that every lift you do actually makes you more durable, not more prone to injury.

  • Clinical Recovery: You shouldn't have to wait for a PT appointment to address a minor ache. I use manual therapy to clear tissue restrictions, improve joint range of motion, and reduce pain. By integrating this into every session, we keep you in the game and consistently moving forward.

My Commitment to You

Life is unpredictable. Between the physical demands of your job, your hobbies, and the unavoidable "tweaks" of daily life, you will inevitably deal with discomfort. Most trainers are trained to walk away from these issues; I am trained to work through them.

You don’t have to choose between a hard workout and a healthy body. When you work with me, you get the performance output of an elite coach and the clinical expertise of a manual therapist, all in one private, focused environment.
