Client Progress & Testimonials

What Changed?

  •     •    Scapulas (shoulder blades) appear depressed and laterally shifted relative to the ribcage, particularly on the left side

        •    Right hip sits higher and shifts slightly to the right

        •    Ribs appear to push outward and slightly up away from her abdominal wall

        •    Less defined gluteal tone and posterior chain engagement

  •     •    Scapulae appear more level and evenly positioned

        •    Hips look more balanced left to right

        •    Ribcage is more centered and integrated with the pelvis

        •    Noticeable improvement in glute development and posterior chain definition

  • This transformation suggests improved symmetry through the spine and shoulder girdle, with better regulation of internal pressure. The shift in shoulder height and scapular positioning points to more balanced engagement across the lats, obliques, and glutes. These changes reduce lateral pelvic torque and spinal rotation that can cause joint shearing during gait. With better pressure distribution across the posterior chain, the client is set up for smoother, more sustainable movement patterns.

  •   •    Ribcage flared forward, contributing to anterior pelvic tilt

        •    Weight shifted slightly forward over toes

        •    Glutes appear under-engaged with excess tension likely falling on quads

  •   •    Ribcage better stacked over the pelvis

        •    Head and shoulders more vertically aligned over midfoot

        •    Posture appears taller and more organized through the spine

        •    Greater glute engagement and tone, reflecting stronger posterior chain recruitment

  • From the side, you can see improved alignment from head to pelvis, suggesting enhanced pressure regulation and decompression. The ribcage is less collapsed, and the pelvis is more neutral, which reflects a shift away from anterior dominance and compensatory extension. These changes support healthier load transfer through the spine and lower body, reduce stress on the knees and hips, and open up breathing mechanics—key indicators of long-term functional resilience.

What Changed?

    • Spine curves laterally showing asymmetry in the torso and hips

    • Right shoulder and scapula sit higher than left

    • Ribcage is offset from pelvis, indicating compressions

    • Uneven tension distribution between left and right legs

    • Spine appears more neutral and centered

    • Shoulders and scapulae are more level

    • Ribcage stacks more directly over the pelvis, with noticeable muscle development through the midsection

    • Foot pressure and leg stance are more symmetrical

  • The most immediate shift is in pressure regulation—evident through a more expanded and balanced thoracic cavity. This indicates the client is beginning to generate and manage internal pressure more evenly across both sides of the body. As symmetry improves and scapular positioning evens out, there’s less reliance on compensatory tension and more efficient activation of the posterior chain. This creates a more stable foundation for gait, minimizes torque through the spine and pelvis, and reduces the likelihood of chronic pain patterns from uneven loading.

    • significant anterior pelvic tilt

    • Protruding abdomen, poor abdominal wall tension

    • Ribcage flares forward

    • forward head and neck carriage

    • legs slightly drift behind centerline

    • Pelvis is more neutral with reduced tilt

    • Abdominal wall appears more engaged

    • Ribcage more integrated with pelvis

    • head stacked better over spine

    • legs stack more directly beneath hips

  • The improved stacking from head to pelvis suggests more effective spinal decompression and better postural control. With the ribcage more elevated and the pelvis less anteriorly dumped, the body is beginning to regulate intra-abdominal pressure more efficiently. This supports not only a stronger core but also reduces stress on the spine, hips, and knees. These shifts reflect a move away from collapse-based compensation toward integrated, energy-efficient mechanics that support both performance and injury prevention.

  •     •    Forward head posture with visible neck jutting in front of the torso

        •    Ribcage flared with exaggerated lumbar curve (anterior pelvic tilt)

        •    Shoulders internally rotates

        •    Glutes disengaged with minimal tone

        •    Poor abdominal wall tension

  •     •    Head and neck repositioned to align over shoulders, improving cervical spine tension

        •    Ribcage and pelvis show better stacking with reduced anterior tilt

        •    Shoulders more externally rotated and relaxed, improving upper body tension

        •    Glutes appear more engaged and structurally supported

        •    Abdominal wall appears more engaged

  • This transformation reflects an improvement in structural alignment and load management throughout the kinetic chain. Reduced spinal compression and improved pelvic positioning indicate better core function and intra-abdominal pressure. These gains don’t just improve appearance — they promote long-term joint health, reduce risk of pain, and build the foundation for stronger, more efficient movement.

  •     •    Forward head posture and rounded shoulders, indicating upper thoracic compression.

        •    Belly protrusion with lack of abdominal wall tension, reflecting poor core pressure regulation.

        •    Feet turned outward with slight collapse in the arches, suggesting instability in lower limb alignment and poor fascial sequencing.

        •    General appearance of tension in the neck and upper traps, likely compensating for lack of postural control through the core.

  •     •    Noticeably improved chest and ribcage lift, a sign of better intra-abdominal pressure and thoracic decompression.

        •    Shoulders are less internally rotated and sit more evenly on the ribcage.

        •    Abdomen appears tighter and more compressed, showing improved control and core engagement.

        •    Feet show better grounding and symmetry, improving the base of support.

  • These changes are the result of better intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), which acts as a central stabilizer for the body. As core pressure improves, so does the body’s ability to align, decompress, and distribute tension more efficiently. This leads not only to improved posture but also to reduced wear and tear on the joints, better balance, and increased movement potential—key factors in aging well and staying active long term.

  •     •    Forward head posture with cervical misalignment.

        •    Shoulders rounded forward, showing excessive thoracic kyphosis.

        •    Abdominal protrusion suggesting poor structural stacking and core disengagement.

        •    Knees hyperextended and pelvis anteriorly tilted, disrupting vertical load transfer.

        •    Weight shifted forward off the heels, placing strain on the forefoot and disrupting full-body balance.

  •     •    Head and neck are more in line with the vertical axis, improving spinal alignment.

        •    Shoulders sit further back and more level, reducing upper back curvature.

        •    Ribcage and pelvis show improved stacking, contributing to a more upright posture.

        •    Knees appear more extended and hips more neutrally positioned, suggesting better lower limb alignment.

        •    Weight more evenly distributed over the foot tripod, indicating improved postural stability.

  • These structural improvements reflect a better integration of movement patterns and body awareness. As alignment improves, the body becomes more efficient at handling gravity and reducing unnecessary strain on joints and soft tissue. This leads to less fatigue, reduced injury risk, and enhanced physical confidence—essential outcomes for sustainable fitness and long-term health.

What Changed?

    • Chronic Pain

    • Noticeable forward head posture

    • Compressed ribcage

    • Pelvis stuck in anterior tilt

    • her stance shows signs of poor core pressure and structural collapse which likely contributed to her discomfort during ado;u tasks

    • She’s now moving without pain

    • Head is now stacked more directly over the spine

    • Ribcage has decompressed

    • Pelvis is in a more neutral alignment

    • You can see more length through the torso and better distribution of weight throughout the body

  • These changes reflect a significant improvement in her internal pressure system and myofascial tensioning. We didn’t chase aesthetics - we rebuilt her from the inside out. The pain relief came from restoring function, not forcing fitness. This is what happens when you train human biomechanics, not just muscles

  • “I don’t think I can recommend Taylor enough. I’ve been working with Taylor for about 2 months and I can already feel the impact of our work in my body.

    About 10 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was in constant, excruciating pain. While I was always told to stay active, I found it extremely difficult to make any exercise part of my routine. I had trouble with my pain increasing even if I tried to do easy walks. I went to other trainers and tried various forms of exercise (weights, Pilates, yoga, etc.), but I would have to quit every time because my pain would flare up so bad I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed. Things like folding clothes, vacuuming, going up the stairs at home were all too painful.

    Turning 40 and discovering how much I enjoy hiking (even short distances) made me realize I had to make a change before I basically rendered my body useless. I heard about biomechanics on a podcast and found it interesting that the modality focuses on improving natural body movements and balancing the body’s muscle activation sequence.

    During my initial consult with Taylor, we discussed my medical history, how my body dealt with pain, the type of coaching I liked, and what I wanted to get out of my training. Like many people who deal with chronic pain, I had low expectations because everyone says they will be able to work with your limitations.

    My first training session, I found out how different Taylor and biomechanics is from everything else I tried. We spent the first month on breathing and learning to properly activate my core. Within the first month, I thought I could feel a difference, but by the end of the 2nd month, there was no doubt. I could do household chores without pain and I enjoyed my first 4+ mile hike without pain.

    Taylor has the unique ability to not only show you the exact movement he wants, but describes it using analogies that are easy to understand. If I’m still struggling with the movement, he breaks down the movement into pieces so I can master each part progressively as I work toward the complete movement within minutes. He is super encouraging and is great about pointing out progress he sees. He will push me, but if I say anything about pain, he stops and tries to address that immediately with muscle rolling if the pain is a tight muscle or modifying the exercise so it is achievable without sacrificing the goal.

    When he left the gym that I started at with him, my first thought was panic at losing such a great trainer. Thankfully, he started his own training business and I followed him without any reservations.

    Again, I can’t say enough positive things about working with Taylor. He has given me a new outlook on life and what my body is capable of. You won’t regret working with him.”
