I would like to take a moment to introduce Kyle Hicks to our community. Kyle has been a member here for a few months and has been a distance part of the CFL Family since we opened so it’s kind of a late introduction. However I am giving him a formal intro as we are lucky to have him as our new Resident Therapist and Athletic Trainer. Kyle studied at Springfield College and has been an athletic trainer since graduation. He has always had an interest in sports and since starting CrossFit a few years back became even more interested in how his knowledge of the body and therapy can help people move better, heal quicker, and overall be more fit and healthy. He is especially adept in something called ART, or Active Release Therapy. It is a soft tissue release (massage) technique that is much more than just your every day massage. Kyle is also skilled in working with people of all athletic and fitness backgrounds in myofasical release, trigger point therapy, correcting biomechanics, and sports rehab.
Why is this important to you? Because Kyle is available for services to you here at CrossFit Lando, meaning we now have a therapist on hand for you to get worked on and heal whatever ailments you might develop. You can schedule an appointment with him right now through email, [email protected], and we will soon have a sign up through our website where you can book appointments when he is available. All of the coaches here get worked on and we have all seen amazing results in a short time. The best part is he only charges $20 for about 30 minutes of work (all depends on your issues) and is available at a lot of different times to do work right here at CrossFit Lando.
If you are having issues with ANY part of your body you should contact Kyle ASAP. Back trouble, shoulder issues, hips, elbows, ankles, literally any part of your body that is causing issues during your training he can assess and fix. This is more than a regular massage you get down at Massage Envy. This is real athletic performance improvement, but is for anyone and everyone who might be having pain that is hindering their training. Kyle will listen, assess your issue through both self reporting and his own tests, and find a way to fix it. If you need more convincing, another thing that makes him great at what he does is he is an active crossfitter. He knows the aches, pains, and sometimes unfortunate injuries that occur from what you are all doing. I have found personally that understanding what CrossFit is through daily participation gives Kyle a huge leg up on any body work specialist or therapist I have ever encountered.
It would be hard to find a better situation: knowledgable professional who performs a service you can’t really get elsewhere and right at your home gym. Pretty solid. Contact Kyle today and schedule an appointment. Many members already use his services so if you are in need get on it FAST so you can get a time as soon as possible and start feeling better immediately.
