How Customized Private Training Helped A Client Overcome Plantar Fasciitis
For many active adults, chronic pain can feel like an unavoidable part of aging. Whether it’s foot pain, joint discomfort, or mobility issues, the typical solutions often involve rest, orthotics, or generic stretching routines. But for Allen, a former collegiate golfer who was struggling with plantar fasciitis, chronic shoulder pain, and back stiffness, a different approach made all the difference.
The Struggle with Plantar Fasciitis
Allen came to customized private training after exhausting traditional solutions for his foot pain. Like many others, he was advised to use inserts and supportive shoes, but the discomfort persisted. When he began working with Kristy, she took a completely different approach—one focused on strengthening his feet, ankles, and hips rather than relying on external support.
Within just a few weeks of barefoot training, mobility work, and targeted strength exercises, Allen’s plantar fasciitis pain disappeared.
Aging Well Through Strength and Mobility
With his foot pain resolved, Allen saw the potential for private training to improve his overall movement and longevity. As a 6’5 golfer, years of bending over had left him with mid-back stiffness, chronic shoulder pain from a college injury, and occasional knee discomfort. He wanted to stay active for his grandkids, continue golfing pain-free, and feel strong as he aged.
Kristy created a personalized training program tailored to his daily movement patterns, past injuries, and long-term goals. Their sessions focused on:
Spinal mobility & extension work – Combatting years of poor posture and stiffness
Strength training for longevity – Targeting key muscles to prevent future injuries
Functional movement patterns – Enhancing his golf performance and daily activities
The Power of Personalized Training
What set Allen apart was his active engagement in the process. Rather than passively following exercises, he asked questions, learned about his body, and fully committed to the plan. As a result, he quickly saw improvements—not just in pain relief, but in his strength, flexibility, and confidence in movement.
Today, Allen has increased his sessions to twice a week, continuing to build on his progress. He’s moving better, golfing with less discomfort, and embracing a future of pain-free activity.
Take Control of Your Health & Movement
Allen’s story is proof that pain and stiffness don’t have to define aging. Through customized private training, you can target the root cause of discomfort, regain mobility, and continue doing the activities you love.
If you’re struggling with plantar fasciitis, joint pain, or mobility limitations, consider working with a coach who tailors training to your unique body and goals. With the right guidance, you can stay active, move pain-free, and truly age well.
