• Teaching continuing education programs in the fields of corrective exercise, functional training, and performance programming in over 13 countries for the past 16 years • His worked has been published in over 20 publications including the Wall Street Journal, Men’s/Women’s Health, Shape, Muscle & Fitness, T-Nation, as well as the Journal Of Bodywork & Movement Therapies, and much more Why Corrective Exercise Doesn’t Work: Practical Pain Solutions Shoulder, back, and knee pain are some of the most common challenges people face, often derailing fitness goals and making progress feel impossible. These issues don’t just cause discomfort—they stop people from moving forward, leaving them frustrated and stuck.Why does this happen? Corrective exercise often misses the mark. While many programs focus on mobility, stability, core strength, and even breath work, clients frequently struggle to see real improvements. If exercise is supposed to help with pain, why does it persist? The truth is, exercise alone can’t completely solve pain. Research shows that while it can help pain, the real solution lies in teaching clients how to manage and control their pain. By shifting the focus to smarter strategies, we can help clients train more effectively, reduce setbacks, and regain control of their lives. Chicago, Providence

The often forgotten frontal plane, which represents side-to-side and lateral movements, is rarely discussed or trained in the world of Strength & Conditioning. Frontal Plane Fundamentals: Lower Body Training sets out to shift that paradigm through sound training strategies, rationale and methods for immediate application. Long Beach
