Hey Kalamazoo and Portage, meet our newest trainer Valarie Bader.
Hello everyone! I’m excited to join the KAW team! I’m a Personal Trainer with an emphasis on mindful movement and mobility work. I’m a certified Pilates and Barre instructor as well as 200hr RYT Yogi and Breathwork trainer with a focus on postpartum and injury recovery. I love working with older clients and have somehow ended up with many older clients with my oldest turning 87 this year! Im always looking for the best fit with myself and clients and love to help them reach their obtainable goals. I’m a wife and Mother to two teen daughters, a Master Gardener and Chef with nutrition certification. I also have two French Bulldogs who I lovingly refer to as my toddlers because that title implies their neediness and the chaos at home. I hope to add to the KAW portfolio and join y’all in making Kalamazoo healthy and fit!

Snow Shoveling Got Your Back Feeling Sore? We Can Help!

Winter in Kalamazoo means snow-covered driveways and sidewalks, but it also means back pain for many of us. Shoveling snow can put a serious strain on your muscles, especially in your lower back, shoulders, and neck. If you’ve been feeling the ache after clearing your walkway, you’re not alone—and Kalamazoo Athletic Wellness is here to help.

Here’s how massage therapy can ease your snow-shoveling soreness:
Relieves Muscle Tension: Massage therapy targets tight, overworked muscles, helping to release knots and improve circulation.
Reduces Inflammation: By increasing blood flow, massage can help reduce swelling and inflammation caused by repetitive shoveling motions.
Restores Mobility: Stiffness doesn’t stand a chance! Massage helps improve flexibility and range of motion, so you can move freely again.

But why stop at recovery? Pairing massage therapy with strength training can help you:
Prevent Future Pain: Strengthening your core, back, and shoulders can make shoveling (and other daily tasks) easier on your body.
Improve Posture: Stronger muscles support better posture, reducing strain on your back.
Boost Overall Wellness: A stronger body means more energy, less pain, and a healthier you.

Don’t let snow shoveling leave you sidelined. Take care of your body so you can enjoy the winter season pain-free!

📞 Call us at 269-373-1000 or click the button below to schedule your massage therapy or personal training session today.

Stay strong, stay pain-free, and let’s make this winter your most comfortable yet.

Warm regards,
Kalamazoo Athletic Wellness
