Aligned Resistance

If you have ever been physically fit and then had surgery, you could possibly find yourself in an extremely uncomfortable mindset.

Going from physical activity 5 days a week for over 15 years to not being able to do anything for 7 weeks sent me down the most depressive spiral of my entire life. It was the most humbling experience, yet I am insanely grateful for it.

Working out and proper nutrition came easy to me, I had built solid, healthy habits in the previous 15 years. When my physical limitations from recovering from my second back surgery brought these daily habits to an abrupt halt, I was FINALLY able to connect why movement was so crucial and important to me. I thought it was just habits, turns out my mental health DEPENDED on me moving my body.

Aligned Resistance was created when I was getting back into moving my body. I needed a way to safely return to building back my muscular strength and stability. 20 years as massage therapist (board certified since 2008) has provided a wealth of understanding in anatomy, movement and injury prevention. Combining this with my experience of creating movement plans for populations with limited mobility is what truly makes this a plan strategically designed to help maximize your strength and performance without compromising proper form.

In addition to the fitness portion of this program, you will also learn stress management techniques, as well as ways to maximize your sleep and recovery.
