What is a C.H.E.K Practitioner / Exercise Coach?

Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology

The C.H.E.K Practitioner / Exercise Coach approach to movement and fitness combines knowledge of functional anatomy, with the understanding of the interrelationships between the musculoskeletal system, the glands, organs, posture, and breathing to create a full picture of the human body.

Assessment is a cornerstone to the C.H.E.K approach to exercise. C.H.E.K Practitioners utilize a powerful and comprehensive collection of assessments and program design techniques to precisely prescribe the most effective corrective movements to every individual.

Whatever your goals in fitness or life, having a healthy functional body is essential. Your posture both reflects and affects your internal environment. Posture effects the functionality of your organs, circulation of fluids and energy, health of muscles and bones, and impacts your mental emotional state with either good or bad results. Posture is where movement begins, so it’s also where C.H.E.K Practitioners begin too.

Through assessing each client’s mechanics, the C.H.E.K Practitioner ascertains a crystal-clear picture of where every client needs to focus there efforts to correct imbalances, and best optimize posture and performance.
