As a CHEK Professional, Giovanni specialises in Corrective exercise and holistic health and Strength and Conditioning. This approach assists the client to prevent injury, succeed in late-stage rehabilitation and effectively re-balance their health and wellness to perform optimally in life and sport. EAT -MOVE -SLEEP -FLOW

Giovanni’s times with you the client starts with a precise physiological and postural musculoskeletal assessment, this steps can be done either in person or remotley. He believes that different body types, gender, history of history lifestyle and personality impacts the strategy taken towards re-balancing the health of each individual. No matter what issues a client seeks to overcome or the goals they want to achieve, creating a comprehensive profile of the client’s situation is, for Giovanni in his approach, crucial to determine the cause and to create a tailored program to heal and prevent injury, overcome ailments, re-balance health, and improve performance when subsequently undertaking amateur or professional sport.

I’ve spoken about this before: the way we prepare food can unlock nutrients that were previously less available—or not available at all.

Take fermented soy products, for example. During fermentation, microorganisms actually produce vitamin B6.

Here’s the crazy part.

Over the years, I’ve noticed something fascinating:
Whenever I consume Tamari sauce, that night I dream—and I remember my dreams vividly.

Vitamin B6 is involved in dream recall, and although I take a multivitamin most days, I only consistently remember dreaming when I consume Tamari.

Nature’s wonders never stop surprising us.

The human body isn’t perfectly symmetrical, but the aim of functional symmetry is essential.

This applies to every system in the body.

It’s the yin and yang of human movement—opposites working together to create balance.

And to make this even clearer, think about other systems in the body.

Take the digestive system, for example:
• If it’s working too fast, you risk poor nutrient absorption.
• If it’s too sluggish, you end up with food matter sitting and decomposing, leading to increased metabolic byproducts and inflammation (toxicity).

Balance is the thread that holds everything together.

Movement, digestion, recovery, stress—none of it exists in isolation.

This exercise fires up the posterior oblique sling system while also training the constant trunk rotational forces the body goes through during paddling.

.flip came to me struggling with ongoing, debilitating back pain—the kind he had been told (in the words of previous practitioners)
he would “have to live with for the rest of his life.”

He was also told that surfing and skating would always be painful.

At just 27 years young, that’s a heavy burden to carry.

After a full assessment and a 10‑day lifestyle journal, we discovered that the musculoskeletal issue was only one piece of the puzzle.

Important, yes—but the real “bang for his buck” was somewhere else entirely, in areas no one had looked into before.

Now hear me out:
I’m not here bragging or claiming I’m the only one who could help him. That’s not the point.
What I am saying is this:
The body is a cybernetic system—everything influences everything.

We cannot look at injuries, especially the ones that develop slowly over time and never seem to improve, through a narrow, reductionist lens.

A holistic approach is essential.

Quinn’s journey has only just begun, and I can’t wait to see what he’s capable of achieving.

The sense of freedom we gain from going on a surf trip is unbeatable.
And soon… another one is just around the corner.

The renegade row is an excellent corrective exercise for surfers.

With cyclone season starting soon, we’ll be paddling against the current constantly.

And here’s something you may not even realize:
You’re often using more of your inside arm (for most, the right arm more than the left).
Over time, this creates significant imbalances in the body—affecting strength, coordination, and even board control.

The renegade row helps restore balance by engaging the posterior chain, core stability, and shoulder control, making it a powerful tool for surfers who want to stay strong and symmetrical in the water.

I often see surfers with weak legs, poor lats, and limited paddling ability—and this is why.

The glutes on one side of the body work in synchrony with the lats on the opposite side.

This is part of the posterior oblique sling system, a key chain of muscles that stabilizes and powers movement.
This exercise is a great way to fire up and balance the sling system:
• 🏄‍♂️ Sit deep into the glute of the working leg
• 🏄‍♀️ Drive with control through the hip
• 🌊 Once you feel momentum building, only then begin to pull with the arm

🔑 Key takeaway: Always move from bigger to smaller—from the lower limb to the upper limb.

On average, one leg accounts for 16–18% of total bodyweight, while an arm is only 5–6%. That’s why the leg must lead, and the arm must follow.

The double‑edged sword, the snake that bites its own tail—this is one of the biggest setbacks we’ve created.
A lack of movement with intention and purpose.
Once upon a time, if you wanted to drink, you had to walk.
To gather wood, you had to squat, lift, press.
Every action was part of what was necessary for survival.
Movement wasn’t optional—it was woven into life itself.
Today, convenience has stripped away that necessity, leaving us weaker, less connected, and less resilient.

Inflammation is a term often used but not always fully understood.
The classic signs of inflammation are:
• 🔴 Redness
• 🔥 Heat
• 💢 Swelling
• ⚡ Pain
An inflamed tissue does not tolerate compression. For example, the hard swelling of the abdomen—seen in both men and women—is a classic sign of inflammation.
The cause can vary greatly from person to person. A proper and professional assessment is required to pinpoint the origin:
• Is it muscular?
• Or is it visceral (organ‑related)?
Inflammation is not just a symptom—it’s a signal. Understanding its source is the key to effective healing.

Why Posture Truly Matters
This is another important reason why posture is essential.

Posture does not only affect aesthetics—it deeply influences the function of the body.

• Poor posture prevents even distribution of pressure in the abdominal cavity, obstructing the body’s ability to stabilize the trunk and, consequently, the arms and legs.

• This distortion also reduces the ability to take a full breath in, as the diaphragm cannot descend evenly during inhalation.

• As a result, peristalsis (the rhythmic movement of the digestive tract) is influenced, further compromising internal function.

Posture, therefore, is not just about how we look—it is about how the body breathes, digests, stabilizes, and ultimately sustains health.

Salt was often used in exchange for other essential foods and daily necessities.

It was highly valued—not only for its taste—but for its precious qualities: preserving food, sustaining life, and serving as a form of currency.

In fact, the word salary comes from salarium, the allowance Roman soldiers received to buy salt.
That’s how central this mineral was to human civilization.

But salt isn’t just about history—it’s about health.

Natural, mineral-rich salts (like sea salt, Lake salt or Himalayan salt) contain more than sodium chloride. They provide trace minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium that play vital roles in the body.

🌊 That feeling we all had when we first started…

Surfing isn’t just a sport.

It’s for life.

The foot is to the body what the root is to a tree—the foundation.
Without a strong foundation, the tree cannot stand tall.

And just as a house without a foundation will not be solid, the body without healthy feet cannot remain stable.

The big toe’s health is essential. Its position matters greatly, though it’s not the only factor that limits function.

When the foot becomes narrow at the big toe (bunion, hallux valgus), this significantly influences not only the function of the foot but also the entire lower limb—and ultimately, everything “up the tree.”

For surfers, this is a great disadvantage.

Weak feet mean less board connection, slower reaction time, reduced control—you name it. The foundation of your body directly shapes your performance in the water.
