What is a Body Coach
A Body coach is a licensed physical therapist, athletic trainer or acupuncturist who specialize in treating clients through a holistic lifestyle focused on improving tissue pliability. Body Coaches work one on one with each individual client to create a treatment plan that is centered around the pillars of pliability; nutrition, hydration, cognitive health, rest and recovery, and tissue pliability techniques. Each of these pillars plays an important role in enhancing an individuals pliability, allowing clients to achieve their goals, and sustain their peak ability for as long as possible.
Body Coaches program and work with a clients specific needs and goals to ensure they are successful in the activities they perform on a daily basis. Body Coaches are experts at identifying muscle imbalances and asymmetries within an individuals movement pattern, and correcting them through enhancing the mind-body connection with hands on pliability work and functional movement exercises. It is the Body Coaches goal to create a positive brain body connection, allowing the muscle tissue to fire at 100% of its capacity, and putting an individual through functional exercises specific to the movements an individual performs during sport or physical activity.
