Posture & Performance

let’s face it - the requirement to move our bodies becomes less and less as our advances in technology continue.

contrary to popular beielf, our dissolving functional capabilities are a reflection of our choices not our bodies ability to adapt. N4Motion has come to understand that this beleif is at the heart of TRANSFORMATION.

you are a part of the most RESILIENT species on the planet and capable of traNSFORMING INTERNAL SYSTEMS TO overcome THE CHALLENGE OF ANY EXTERNAL circumstance.

TRAINING INTENTIONALLY IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR PAIN AND/OR LIMITATIONS.

see below for what you need to know to create lasting change and eliminate chronic pain

THE SYMPTOM IS RARELY THE SOURCE

WHAT IF THE AREA THAT HURTS IS AN ECHO FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE? THAT ORIGINAL MESSAGE GETS DISMISSED AS SOMETHING INCONSEQUENTIAL AND YOU CONTINUE LIVING LIFE PER USUAL. AS TIME PASSES YOU FEEL ACHES AND PAINS BUT NOTHING TOO TAXING AND YOU SAY TO YOURSELF “AHH THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS,” OR MAYBE YOU TAKE THE ADVICE OF YOUR FRIEND AND BEGIN STRETCHING THE AREA THAT IS BOTHERING YOU. YOU QUICKLY FIND THAT IT GIVES YOU SOME RELIEF AND DECIDE TO CONTINUE TO DO SO. YEARS PASS AND YOUR’E STILL AT.. CHASING THE SYMPTOMS.

THE BODY ADAPTS

THERE MAY BE MANY SITUATIONS THAT COME TO MIND BUT DO YOU EVER REMEMBER FEELING GOOD OR BAD ABOUT SOMETHING AND OVER TIME THAT WENT AWAY?

WELL, YOUR BRAIN & BODY ADAPTS TO PAIN IN THE SAME WAY. GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, YOUR PAIN WILL BECOME THE NORM.

AND YOU’LL NO LONGER FEEL WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING WHICH CAN BECOME A SEVERE PROBLEM AND BOUND YOU TO AN ANXIOUS ALERT STATE.

THERE HAS BEEN A COMMON THEME WITH OUR CLIENTS OVER THE YEARS - THE LESS AWARENESS THEY HAVE OF A PARTICULAR ISSUE, THE MORE OF AN IMPACT IT HAD ON THIER CURRENT STATE.

HAVING AN EXPERIENCED EYE PAIRED WITH POSTURAL ASSESSMENTS AND CLEARLY DEFINED DIRECTIONS IS A PROVEN PATH TO A PAIN-FREE LIFE - WE HAVE IT ALL.

ORDER MATTERS

THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE OF CHASING SYMPTOMS AND ADDRESSING THE CAUSE.

THE FORMER IS SOLEY FOCUSED ON CHANGING CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE LATTER IS FOCUSED ON TRANSFORMATION.

DOING GOOD MOVEMENT OUT OF ORDER CAN CREATE NEW IMBALANCES AND WORSEN YOUR PAIN

BUT WHEN YOU CONSISTENTLY ADDRESS THE RIGHT ISSUES AT THE RIGHT TIME CHANGE BECOMES TRANSFORMATION.

TRAIN INTENTIONALLY,

BALANCE YOUR BODY,

WITH US.

THE RIGHT WAY.

coach nick’s progression

the first picture you see (on the left) was taken in 2017. at this point i was experiencing shoulder and lower back pain, migraines and some crazy anxiety. i felt like i was on alert all the time and it was exhausting. this was in large part due to addiction and the lies i lived in order to sustain that for the time i did. on the other hand, there was a very real mechanical issue aspect to this equation that became a calling of mine. i wanted to get answers and that turned into helping others do the same.

the last picture was taken in 2022. as i continue down this path i feel better and better. the pain, inflammation, and anxiety has drastically reduced. my mobility and flexibility has improved so much that i can do high intensity exercises with no pain at all. in the past, i tried using traditional lifting, crossfit and other methods to obtain what i thought was best (a vain approach to develop the AESTHETIC i saw in magazines, on tv and online), but i did what most do - had to balance it out with yoga and other modalities to continue... it didn’t seem right that i had to constantly follow up my workouts with something to balance out the pain and tension it was creating. the more honest i got with myself, the more sense it made that balance should be at the heart of my training, not something i attempt to hold on to by countering my efforts.
