Mobile Movement Training + Myofascial Release in North County San Diego

Move better. Feel stronger. Stay resilient.

Personalized 1:1 movement training and Myofascial Release to improve mobility, reduce chronic pain patterns, and build durable performance for athletes, active adults, and children.

Who I work with:

Athletes:

Improve mechanics, reduce recurring injuries, and build performance that transfers to sport.

Chronic Pain:

If symptoms keep returning, we address the system behind the pattern—not just the site of pain.

Older Adults:

Restore confidence in movement, balance, and joint function so daily life feels easier.

Services:

Myofascial Release + Movement Integration

  • Hands-on treatment paired with movement so improvements last beyond the session.

1:1 Movement Training

  • Mobility, control, and strength training built around your structure and goals.

Performance + Injury Resilience

  • For athletes who want repeatable mechanics, better force transfer, and fewer setbacks.

How it works:

Step 1: Assess

  • We look at movement patterns, posture, breathing mechanics, and joint behavior.

Step 2: Treat + Restore

  • Hands-on work and targeted movement strategies reduce restriction and improve coordination.

Step 3: Build + Maintain

  • You leave with clear progressions to reinforce results between sessions.
