Extremely competent, professional, and accommodating. I could tell instantly Corey has years of experience working with athletes, combined with his educational background, which gave him the ability to adapt to my needs and goals. I presented him with a series of problems related to strength, mobility, and activation imbalances leading to chronic pain and decreased athletic performance. Corey quickly developed a program designed to get me back to lifting pain free, and to improve my movement patterns. We established a schedule to meet regularly to update the program and keep pushing for improved performance. I can't recommend him enough if you take your physical health and athletic performance seriously.

Corey was extremely easy to talk to, super knowledgeable, and communicated very well throughout the entire process. He took the time to really understand my son’s injury and created a plan that helped get him back quickly and safely. I truly appreciated how thorough, patient, and attentive he was. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Corey to anyone needing care they can trust.

Corey was incredibly professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire injury assessment. He took the time to explain everything clearly and in a way that a teenager could easily understand, which made the process much less intimidating. He was patient, thorough, and made sure all questions were answered before moving on.
