My mission is for you to gain experience and confidence in using these resources {on you own!} to relieve pain, improve posture and stability. By learning to absorb force through your muscles instead of your joints, movement limitations will decrease and you will find that you can achieve a higher level of pain free performance in your daily activities; from doing the dishes to playing with your children to extreme sport.

The tools that I share with you will help you to connect to and strengthen your entire body, decompress your spine, breathe to promote posture and access your fundamental hip hinge and range of motion.

{Be sure to check out the testimonials below!}

Are you feeling pain in your body? I can help you feel and understand what is putting your body out of balance daily and share the tools that can help you to get it back!

Highly recommend Linda’s classes to anyone and everyone! Her intro class includes small habits you can incorporate in your daily life to feel good in your body! Because of her, I am now able to work 40 hours a week as a hygienist pain-free! Grateful for youĀ Linda Guanti

GO SEE Linda You WILL NOT regret it

In the first 5 minutes

Linda is a knowledgeable instructor and great to work with

Thanks to Linda I have finally seen improvements!

Helped my bike race after just one class

I applied the principles of Foundation Training that Linda taught me during my recent
bike race and it really worked! It helped during the race and after. I didn’t feel pain in my knees
and lower back that I usually feel after a ride. Thank you, Linda!

My acupuncturist is so impressed

“My acupuncturist is so impressed with your Foundation Training. I was telling her about you. She noticed how my posture has improved.” “Thank you so much for this training. I am grateful.”

After only two weeks I actually experienced my first pain free run in years

“I heard about Foundation training from my physiotherapist years ago, but only recently started attending classes. I wish I had started sooner! I am an active person, and have struggled with low back pain from previous injuries and improper movement patterns for years. From my first Foundation class I noticed a difference in my back pain right away; I could feel how much less compressed my lumbar spine was immediately. Over the next few weeks I started to build more awareness of how I was moving in my day to day life (walking, running, bending, and twisting) and began to change the way I was moving. After only two weeks I actually experienced my first pain free run in years and am once again feeling hopeful that I can get to a place of living totally free of lower back pain! I would highly recommend Foundation training for anyone; the movements help immediately and Linda is clearly a knowledgeable and passionate facilitator. I look forward to continuing to work with her towards my goals! “

After your session I understood the concept of FT better

“It was really great introducing session, thank you so much! I really enjoyed!Ā I recently moved from Whistler, I know so many seniors in the ski group do ā€œ12 min foundation trainingā€ (the famous video!) everyday, they told me no back pains anymore if you do this regularly. So I started it too to prevent having back pain. Now after your session, I understood the concept of FT better, I can’t wait to try the 12 min video again! Keep me in the loop for the next series, I want to learn more about FT.ā€

Loving

“Loving starting my Saturday’s with your class!”

Karen MacGillivray

This stuff is fantastic

“I wanted to use the opportunity to thank you for the fun introduction – this stuff is fantastic! I found myself in the Founder-pose multiple times throughoutĀ the day and have the feeling I learned a lot about the proper engagement of my posterior chain. I use the founder pose to prime my deadlift and squat technique before lifting – and while brushing my teeth”

Dr. Eric Drechsler

Linda is Fabulous

“Hey moms: I have signed up for the 4 Saturday classes! (Just finished 2 private classes). If anyone is thinking about this, Linda is fabulous! I am learning to decompress and work on my aches and pains. See you in January, Linda!”

“I was going to mention Linda to you! She is helping me with chronic pain from work! I am doing massage and foundation training combined. Massage resets me, and foundation training is helping retrain how I carry myself and move”

You changed my life

“Fantastic! I continue to do the exercises several times a week. THANK YOU! You changed my life!”

~Feedback Post FT workshop for District of Sechelt employees~

Sherry Taylor

Employee of the District of Sechelt (BC, Canada)

Changed my life

“I’ve been keeping up the daily Foundation Training. Changed my life. I can’t believe how much difference Foundation Training has made — and it gets better every day. I’ve been hiking up and down mountains and through canyons here in southern Arizona virtually pain free.
My back condition is not trivial. My spine was literally being crushed. I lost three and a half inches of height! It feels weird to be looking up at people that I used to be taller than. But now it doesn’t hurt any more.
I tried Foundation training for the first time on Oct. 16, 2022, so 14 months ago now. I felt something transformative the first time, but I’m amazed at the way it just keeps giving.
Helen and I are on a three month road trip in the SW US. We are hiking or climbing almost every day. During our hikes we usually stop at some scenic place and do the original 12-minute routine, which we have memorized. Picking a great spot adds to the fun of our day. We tell ourselves, “We’ll know it when we see it.ā€
Cheers,
Ed”
