I also specialize in CHEK Postural Alignment consultations and creating personalized programs for YOU to help you feel stronger and experience less pain. Many people will simply conclude that it is just ‘natural’ or ‘normal’ to be sore all the time. What they do not realize is that you can often fix these problems yourself! Most often pain occurs as a result of injury, when the body is out of alignment or certain muscles are not functioning fully. This makes the body adapt by using other muscles to compensate for the imbalance. Once this compensatory cycle begins it can spiral out of control until the whole body begins to shift its ideal alignment. By changing this chronic pattern of how we use the body we can fundamentally fix our longstanding issues. So what is in involved in a CHEK Postural Realignment Consult? Let a professional Kinesiologist who is a certified CHEK Exercise Coach perform a body tune up taking a total of 3 hours for only $200. This starts with a 1 hour assessment on your body including:

i. measuring posture on a plumb line

ii.assessing spinal curvature

iii.measuring core function

iv.testing muscle tightness and strength

v.assessing functional movement patterns

This information is then formulated into an exercise prescription taking 30 minutes and is later shared in a 1.5 hour training session. In this session you will get shown your own personal take home exercise and stretch program specific to your bodies needs. This program, which can generally be done at home with minimal equipment, takes from 20-40 minutes to do and is ideally done 3-5x per week. Less time commitment will also work but is less effective in realigning the body. The program works best once your body goes beyond the exercises and really integrates your new postural awareness throughout the day. Once your body ‘catches on’ you can slowly wean off of some of the exercises and integrate new challenging ones to further your progress. The results can happen rapidly and you will
generally start to feel better within weeks. Call today to book an appointment at 250.551.1370
