The Coach Kaehler  Body Balance Evaluation

Whether you’re a junior or masters athlete, a novice or an elite rower, you need an ideal body balance of strength and flexibility to help you train toward your athletic goals.

In line with the Kaehler Approach to training, I have developed a structural evaluation that helps me determine imbalances in the strength and flexibility of your musculoskeletal system.  Reducing these imbalances will reduce your risk of injuries, and enable you to train harder and more efficiently.

My evaluation approach has been developed over a 18 year period in a clinical environment, and has been used successfully on hundreds of athletes, including rowers, runners, triathletes, as well as many non-endurance sports, regardless of age and level of experience.  Once I have thoroughly examined your body for muscular and flexibility-related imbalances, I will provide you with an individualized corrective program which includes detailed written instructions and pictures.
