Injury doesn’t mean you have to stop training. It means you need to adapt to the movement patterns and ranges of motion that now exist, execute like exercises that don’t increase your pain, and overcome this new adversity. There is always a way, it just comes down to how bad you want it.

There are many instances where communication through Cues doesn’t work how they are Intended to. Instead, using limited cues and applying constraints through varies exercises, helps to break down more complex movements patterns, working on the factors which hinder our ability to execute these complex movements.
•
These photos are 1 week apart, the difference being the constraints applied to help properly teach the exercise. Although there are a few more things to work on, the improvement is not to go unnoticed!

Clients Say the Nicest Things....

"Geared Performance is an integral part of my health journey. Not only do I get technically targeted massage therapy, but Geared Performance has helped me improve my workouts and fitness by focusing on my functional needs with measurable progress. If you want to improve your fitness regime, these are the right people to help you."

Melissa H

"Geared Performance revolutionized my fitness and training. After years away from rugby, I felt unprepared for university team tryouts. Liam Birkwood analyzed my performance, designed a personalized plan, and corrected my mistakes. His expertise and one-on-one sessions prepared me physically and mentally. Thanks to Geared Performance, I made the team and continue to benefit from Liam's advice and strategies."

Ben. B

"When I initially approached Liam to improve my shoulder mobility for snatches and cleans, he was the first professional to suggest an ultrasound for a more accurate assessment. Following the diagnosis, Liam guided me through a series of exercises that not only strengthened my shoulder muscles but also improved my mobility. His comprehensive action plan covered every aspect of my recovery, from healing to conditioning and building strength. Thanks to his expertise and guidance, my lifts have consistently improved. Liam has also been instrumental in helping me achieve various other fitness goals, including completing a triathlon, a half marathon, and soon, a full marathon. His dedication and support have been crucial in my journey toward better health and fitness."

Tyler. C

"I was originally referred to the Geared Performance team after years of chronic pain from an old injury. Their approach to creating my rehab plan was extremely detailed and rooted in a better understanding of my situation. Rather than be quick to conclude, Liam and his team take the time to listen and truly understand what you’re going through. Working with Geared Performance has allowed me to return to what I love most - being fit and physically active! "

Jake. S

"I have a large scar on my abdomen from a previous surgery. The scar was beginning to pucker and pull due to scar tissue adhesion. My therapist recommended Graston Therapy which has significantly improved the look and function of the scar. I would highly recommend Geared Performance for anyone looking to address bothersome scar issues."

Melissa H.

"Liam was extremely knowledgeable and able to address several of my issues right off the bat. I appreciated that he also suggested some stretches to help me work on improving mobility between sessions."

Karen. M

"Liam was without any doubt, the most knowledgeable and effective therapist I have seen (and that's saying something with my previous injuries). He took time to assess my range of motion and asymmetries. It was evident he knew his $*^| about biomechanics and was clearly in the right line of work. He was everything you would hope for in a trainer/ therapist when you're trying to train hard but feel limited with injuries. He was also very knowledgeable about the first responder lifestyle and considered the ergonomics of my work when explaining how to improve my training. He was also incredibly professional and had the sweetest clinic dog, Jia!"

Natalie. V

"Liam was excellent and very professional and personable. The best I have ever dealt with. I would and highly recommend Liam to anyone in need."
