Practitioners have the hands on techniques to dive into corners of the body you usually only allow yourself access to.

Injury is a sticky subject in the fitness world. If you move you may get injured; if you don’t move you may get injured. Overuse or no use, injury may be lurking around the corner. Mitigate it with an abundance of tools. With a combination of Coach and Practitioner, you will give yourself the greatest access to resolving pain, preventing injury, and optimizing performance. Live a better life.

Practitioners assist coaches with an added depth to assessment, not to mention something our coaches don’t specialize in, treatment; things such as, Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Joint Mobilizations, Remedial Exercise, trigger point release and more.

Our coaches are able to expand on resolved issues and weakness identifiers to move you beyond that restriction. Together these teams of people can achieve more.

CJ Castro, RMTCoachCJ

Registered Massage Therapist

My journey in health and wellness started halfway through my senior year in highschool. I weighed in at 250lbs. at the end of my football season and decided at that time that this accessory weight was not neccesary anymore. I committed to the work to lose weight. 6 months later I walked the stage 70lbs lighter believing that I now have a new perspective and drive in life. What I had failed to realize at that time was the change had already happened 6 months prior.

My approach to working with patients is similar. In order for both the patient and I to be on the same page we both need to make the decision to make a necessary change. We are both working together to achieve the same goal. We both must commit to the results. We both must commit to the work. If I dedicate my energy in to helping a patient, I expect similar dedication. When this happens, we become a team.

My treatment approach incorporates Swedish massage, myofascial release, joint mobilizations/MET, as well as the integration of remedial exercises (ie. stretching and strengthening). I am able to draw from my 8 years experience in weight lifting and training, since high school, coupled with my time spent as an apprentice coach at Madlab School of Fitness, and my time at the West Coast College of Massage to provide thorough assessments, treatment plans, and homecare.

I have been invited to bring my skills in-house to MadLab, and I’m here to help you. Let’s fix stuff.
I’ve worked extensively in high-performance sport with the Chinese Olympic Speedskating team, professional UCI track cycling, local professional sports and have gained insight and experience into how to get things fixed as fast as possible.  For those of you who are in need of a total-systems-reboot, I can provide a reverse-engineering approach to analyzing your motor system, disarm protective mechanisms and re-educate your sensory-motor system to allow your body to use its built-in and appropriate motor pattern generators. Yeah. Come and visit me to hear more. You will likely be seeing me around the weight-playground treating on the floor. Please come and say hi. I’m the new guy.
Prepare to hear more about #groundcontrol and #bazooka which are highly effective and difficult specialty programs to help you get back to where you need to be.
