Your Session 

What You Can Expect

Our first session will be at least one hour. During this time, we will discuss informed consent, goals, and a complete health history. Depending on your goals and objectives, various assessment techniques will be used such as tests for strength and flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, or balance and functional movements.

The findings will be discussed and a personalized plan will be proposed in order for you to meet your goals. The frequency and duration of ongoing appointments will vary depending on your needs and goals but will likely be either 45 or 60 minutes. During each session, I will provide you with guidance, feedback and continuous re-assessment of your program. Along with exercises, education will be provided as it is key to ensuring you can complete your program independently.

Exercise works, it is worth the effort.
