At the age of 35, doctors diagnosed my knee as that of a 70 year old and that’d I’d never be able to squat again even after surgery. That meant no picking up kids, laundry, or anything off the ground. Despite the physical limitations, the mental toll was far worse. That wasn’t acceptable, so I started my journey of learning and understanding true functional training from the ground up. Years of studying and trial and errors have led me to the Integrated Strength Training approach. Not only did I correct my movement patterns to live a pain free life, but now I exercise with intention, an intention to understand the movements of the human body and the intention to guide others who seek to live their best lives in a body that works for them not against them.
