Movement Coaching
Identify the root cause of recurring pain and movement limitations. Retrain your body to move the way it was designed to.
Book a SessionWhat Is Movement Coaching?
Movement coaching is a systematic approach to identifying and correcting the way your body moves. Through detailed assessment of your gait, posture, load distribution, and movement behavior, Justin pinpoints the inefficiencies that are causing your pain, limiting your performance, or putting you at risk for injury.
Unlike treatments that address symptoms, movement coaching targets the root cause. Many people develop compensatory movement patterns over years — from injuries, desk work, repetitive activities, or simply never learning to move efficiently. These patterns overload certain joints and muscles while underusing others, leading to chronic pain and recurring injuries that never fully resolve.
As a Certified GOATA Coach, Justin uses a methodology developed by studying the most durable, efficient athletes in history. He retrains your nervous system through specific movement patterns — translating directly to reduced pain, greater safety, longevity, explosivity, speed, and strength.
Issues Movement Coaching Addresses
If the same problem keeps coming back despite treatment, your movement patterns are likely the root cause.
Recurring Foot & Knee Pain
Plantar fasciitis, knee tracking issues, and lower leg pain from inefficient gait patterns.
Chronic Hip & Back Issues
Lower back pain, hip impingement, and SI joint dysfunction rooted in postural and movement imbalances.
Shoulder & Upper Body Restrictions
Limited overhead mobility, rotator cuff issues, and neck tension caused by poor upper body mechanics.
Athletic Performance Plateaus
Athletes who’ve hit ceilings in speed, power, or endurance due to movement inefficiency — not fitness deficits.
Post-Injury Compensation
Your body learned to move around an old injury. The injury healed, but the compensation pattern didn’t — creating new problems.
Age-Related Mobility Loss
Stiffness, balance issues, and declining movement quality that many accept as “just getting older” — but is often correctable.
The Results
Efficient movement translates directly to measurable improvements in how you feel, perform, and live.
Safety
Reduced injury risk through proper joint loading and muscle activation patterns.
Longevity
A body that moves efficiently wears evenly — protecting your joints and tissues for decades.
Explosivity
More power from the same muscles by eliminating energy leaks in your movement chain.
Speed & Strength
Unlock your body’s full potential by moving the way it was designed to move.
What to Expect
Every session is hands-on, personalized, and focused on retraining how your body moves.
Movement Assessment
Justin evaluates your gait, posture, load distribution, and overall movement behavior. He observes how you walk, stand, bend, and rotate to identify where your body is compensating or working inefficiently.
Pattern Identification
Based on the assessment, Justin explains exactly what’s happening in your body — which patterns are causing your pain or limiting your performance, and why they developed. Understanding the “why” is critical to lasting change.
Guided Movement Retraining
You’ll work through very specific movement patterns designed to retrain your nervous system. These aren’t exercises in the traditional sense — they’re neurological reprogramming sequences that teach your body to move more efficiently.
Take-Home Drills
Justin provides specific drills to practice between sessions. Consistent practice accelerates nervous system adaptation. Most drills take 10–15 minutes and can be done anywhere — no equipment needed.

Movement Coaching FAQ
GOATA (Greatest Of All Time Athletes) is a movement system that studies how the most durable, efficient athletes in history move. As a Certified GOATA Coach, Justin analyzes your gait, posture, and movement patterns to identify inefficiencies and retrains your nervous system to move more efficiently — reducing pain and improving performance.
Personal training focuses on building strength and fitness through exercise. Movement coaching focuses on how you move — your gait, posture, load distribution, and nervous system patterns. It addresses the root cause of recurring pain and limitations rather than training around them.
Many clients combine movement coaching with their existing training programs for the best results.
Not at all. Movement coaching benefits anyone who moves — which is everyone. Whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who simply wants to walk and stand without pain, this work can help. Justin works with clients from ages 9 to 90.
Most clients notice meaningful changes within 3–5 sessions. Retraining movement patterns takes time and repetition — the nervous system needs consistency to adopt new patterns. Justin provides drills to practice between sessions, and many clients transition to monthly check-ins after the initial intensive phase.
Yes. Many chronic pain conditions — especially in the feet, knees, hips, back, and shoulders — are caused or worsened by inefficient movement patterns. Movement coaching identifies and corrects these patterns, often resolving pain that massage and other treatments alone couldn’t fix permanently.
Absolutely — and many clients do. Massage addresses the immediate tension, adhesions, and pain. Movement coaching addresses the underlying patterns that caused those issues. Together, they provide both immediate relief and long-term correction. Justin often recommends combining both based on your assessment.
