Alleviating Pain

Alleviating pain

If you’re someone who experiences regular discomfort in your joints or muscles, you know just how frustrating and limiting it can be. Fortunately, strength training with a personal trainer can make a significant difference in managing chronic pain.

Live Without Chronic Pain

Studies have shown that strength training can reduce pain levels and increase quality of life in individuals with chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back pain. With the guidance of a knowledgeable personal trainer, you can create a customized strength training program that addresses your specific needs and goals.

Let Your Body Thrive

We will work closely with you to understand your unique situation and develop a program that will help alleviate your chronic aches and pains. We believe that strength training should never be a one-size-fits-all approach, and we pride ourselves on our ability to tailor workouts to meet the individual needs of each of our clients.

Gain More Overall Stamina

At Saanich Strength Society, we first will take the time to assess your current level of fitness, your range of motion, and any areas of discomfort you may be experiencing. From there, we will develop a program together that will help you improve your overall strength and flexibility, which can lead to a reduction in chronic pain over time.

01

Improved Joint Stability

Strengthening the muscles surrounding a joint can help to improve its stability and support. This can be particularly helpful for individuals experiencing joint pain due to conditions such as arthritis or injury.

02

Increased Range of Motion

As you begin to strengthen your muscles, you may find that your range of motion improves. This increased mobility can help to alleviate pain and discomfort in areas such as the back, hips, and shoulders.

03

Better Body Alignment

Strength training can help to improve your posture and alignment, which can reduce the strain on your joints and muscles. This can be particularly helpful for individuals experiencing chronic pain in the neck, back, or hips.

04

Reduced Inflammation

Exercise has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect, which can help to reduce pain and inflammation in the body. Regular strength training can help to reduce chronic inflammation, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia.

What the people say

I have been training with Alex since the beginning of the year and I am thrilled with my progress so far! When we started, I had a nagging shoulder injury, couldn’t do a squat with good range of motion, and hadn’t gotten any stronger in over a year, despite going to the gym regularly. Now, my shoulder is stable and strong, I can squat past parallel with ease, and I get stronger every week! I had tried personal training in the past but didn’t stick with it because I didn’t feel like other trainers listened my goals or had the level of knowledge and attention to detail I was looking for. Alex took the time to understand my goals and has tailored my workouts accordingly while making sure that I am building the skills to stay healthy and strong for the long term! He is deeply knowledgeable with endless helpful tips to share and always something interesting to say about the latest health and fitness research. I look forward to every workout with Alex because of his positive, enthusiastic attitude and because I know I will leave feeling a sense of accomplishment – what more could I ask for!

Alex was highly recommended to me by a friend, and he did not disappoint! I trained with him for 6 weeks leading up to my wedding, and I felt so strong and confident in my very unforgiving dress. He does a fantastic job of motivating you to reach your potential, while also encouraging you to listen to your body and only do what feels safe. He knows what he is doing, so although I went from never lifting more than a 10lb dumbbell to squatting over 100lbs in 6 weeks, I never felt any sort of discomfort. If you are new to weight training or have been away from it for a while, Alex is a fantastic choice!

A colleague recommended Alex, and I trained with him for the past 4 months. He was welcoming and focused on safety, and he celebrated my PR’s along side me. He takes a lot of pride in what he does, and that is why I would recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive trainer!

Alex was very patient and understanding to my fitness journey. He provided me with the skills I needed to feel comfortable in the gym and to continue even after I was done with his program. He was always positive and provided great encouragement. Thanks for guiding me towards my goal of living a healthier lifestyle !
