Corrective Exercise 

True health and fitness is when all the parts of the body are working together without pain or injury, and not by how much weight you can bench press. Every component of the body needs to work as a whole in order for there to have a healthy and happy quality of life. Exercise needs to take the same approach and help integrate all the components of the body together to help form a strong whole.  

At Upward Motion Personal Training I understand that the whole body needs to functionally work together in order for proper fitness to occur. This is why we first begin with an integrated and comprehensive structural assessment to help identify the pieces of the body that are weak. These weaknesses can cause a person to suffer from chronic back, neck, knee, shoulder, or joint pain. Once these weaknesses are identified, an individual exercise and treatment program can be developed to facilitate both functional and aesthetic changes in the body so that you can discover what it means to be truly strong and healthy.  

Nutrition and Lifestyle  

Diet seems to strike the mind as a negative term more than a positive term. The reason for this is that every diet is short term, and results only come and go. I strongly believe that anyone that wants to improve their health needs to progressively change their lifestyle and eating habits. That is why I teach all my clients about healthy eating and lifestyle choices so that results and goals are permanent and not short lived.  

At Upward Motion Personal Training we first begin with a thorough nutritional and lifestyle analysis. This analysis will help identify the important nutrients that are missing in your diet and also any potential habits that can be hazardous to your health. Once these factors are identified, a proper plan of action can be developed based on your goals, schedule, and particular needs analysis. This process will help ensure that you stay motivated, persistent, and self-disciplined through your physical transformation process. Remember this is a lifestyle style change, not just a quick fix or a fad.  

Sports Injury Prevention

Nothing is more frustrating than training for a sport and getting injured at the beginning or the middle of the season. Whether you’re the weekend warrior or the hardcore athlete, an injury can leave you sitting on the sidelines.  

The most frequent types of injuries are not broken bones, but are sprains (injuries to the ligaments) or strains (injuries to the muscles) caused by abnormal stress to the tendons, joints, muscles, or bones. This added stress is either caused by a muscular or structural imbalance in the body.  

At Upward Motion Personal Training I understand the imbalances in the body that can cause injury. These imbalances are either a lack of flexibility, mobility, or strength in certain parts of the body. That is why I conduct a full postural examination to identify the weakness in the body and help you understand what muscular imbalances your body has.  

Before injury leaves you sitting on the sidelines, let me help you identify your muscular weaknesses. Remember an “ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
