John Power incorporates sports medicine, sport performance training and movement education into a multidisciplinary, holistic approach to fitness training. Every client has a unique body and life with specific wellness goals. John focuses is on optimizing safe and effective exercises for each individual. Movement education is the process of self reflection, exploring movement, body awareness and sensation. Injuries, cognitive/physical habits and poor movement skill can negatively impact movement efficiency contributing to patterns of pain and inhibit sport performance.

Musculoskeletal injuries and pain can have complex symptom presentations with multiple factors spanning physiology, anatomy and psychology. One modality or therapeutic technique is often marginally effective in treating many injuries because of these multiple factors; chronic pain being one of the most complicated and challenging client populations I work with.
I teach functional exercise classes on a regular basis in my office and in the Fitzwilly's Building in the Upstairs Studio. Class size is limited and priority is given to current and previous clients. I am currently teaching 2 classes per week, Mondays and Fridays 12:00/noon - 1:00PM. These classes run in a 6 week series and are ongoing throughout the year.

Sports injury rehab is the main focus of my work with athletes. Sports injuries can be complex with multiple factors. I review their training program and exercise routine, I look at how running shoes fit, where their knee tracks while riding a bike and how lower body rotation contributes to efficient throwing motion w/baseball players.

This was only my first meeting with John but in that time I felt respected and understood. He met me where I am at. I feel hopeful that I will get stronger and more confident in my abilities despite my many medical issues and injuries. He is compassionate and grounding. I came back home with more knowledge to help myself already.

John's approach is straightforward, logical, positive - and exactly what I needed. Really helped with some intense lower back pain that was debilitating. He focused on correcting everyday habits, and then moved into beneficial exercises and stretches. He is super positive and a great teacher. Highly recommend.

I have been working with John for about six years, both on improving fitness and recovering from injuries (mostly shoulder but also knee and back). When I started this journey I was struggling physically and emotionally, and really needed both a plan and support. He understands the mind-body connection and is willing to discuss the whole package-exercise, nutrition, sleep, and self-care.
His approach is very pragmatic. For example, I had struggled with hamstring pain for months until he evaluated the way I was walking, and the fix was fairly straightforward. I also appreciate John for taking a positive "can-do" approach and he very effectively puts the brakes on my tendency to be self-critical. I could write an essay on all the things I like about John, but I would have to say that one of his greatest strengths is his ability to motivate me to take better care of myself in all respects.

John has been patient, encouraging and challenging - a great combo for getting my health back on track. Originally went to John for a persistent ankle injury and quickly found myself tackling strength and mobility - all areas that I needed to focus on. I'm really grateful to John for his skill, knowledge and empowering approach to incorporating health and fitness into my daily routine.

John is great! He worked me through a very painful but successful shoulder treatment. I can now play golf pain free. He knows his stuff, follows up, provides simple and effective home exercises, and tells you what he is doing the whole time. One of the best PT/Massage persons I have ever experienced.
