 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Dylan after a series of injuries resulted in less than optimal strength and readiness for an upcoming multi-day hike. Dylan was able to immediately taylor a strength and conditioning program that specifically targeted where my vulnerabilities would be and I was match fit in a very short period of time. I couldn’t have done it without him. Now we are getting ready for the next one! Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dylan is excellent at what he does. I really feel heard and understood and he created a plan accordingly. For the 1st time, after a long journey in attempting to treat chronic pain, I feel some hope that things will get better with the plan Dylan created for me. Have recommended him to others

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to see Dylan for neck and shoulder pain. He asked thorough questions and knew what exercises to focus on to strengthen my muscles and reduce my neck pain. He was really fun to talk to, which made the whole experience great.
