Assessment / Consultation FREE

This is the time where we can learn about each other!

When you come in for your appointment we go over a health and fitness questionnaire. We talk about medical and sports history, any injuries, life style habits and goals.

I then walk you through a simple physical assessment, explaining any muscle dysfunctions or improper movement patterns, discovering areas of restrictions or tightness.

We will set up 2 more FREE sessions, so you are fully committed in your decision to participate.

Looking forward to working with you!
