About us

The Upward Spiral was created out of growing need for a health and fitness center that would actually educate it's clients and members. Picking up where other programs leave off our clients know and understand more about the human body, health, fitness etc than most trainers and therapists. Industry statistics show that 47% of new gym members injure themselves in the first six weeks. Many times it is a minor injury due to a muscular imbalance or a past issue that flairs up with increased activity. With the right kind of education and training the client or member can not only move past this common sticking point but also learn valuable information about their specific requirements for exercise. We have found that this tends to lead to a better relationship with exercise.

We start by addressing any chronic pain or chronic stress issues that the individual has. Pain and excessive stress tax the body in a way that makes it difficult to properly recover from exercise or even from normal daily activity. This is usually evidenced by the feeling that you are wearing out or feeling old. Pain and Stress deplete valuable resources and raw materials from the body faster than most people can recover them. This is the first energy crisis that we talk to people about. Correcting these issues is the first step to getting a person to a place where they can begin to enjoy exercise and increased activity.

"I don't "Fix" people or get them in "Shape". Even though if you read my testimonials that is exactly what people say I have done for them. What I really do is provide each person with a specific set of "Tools" that they then can use to "Fix" themselves or to get in "Shape". After working in the Health and Fitness field professionally (more than full time) for the last 12 years I have discovered that a person attains lasting results when they finally take full responsibility for their health. Taking full responsibility means learning your body better than your Doctor knows it and taking action to change habits that are not leading to true health and happiness."Robert began studying health and fitness in 1988 after a serious car accident in which his right leg was severely broken. Having to do most of his own rehabilitation, Robert, realized that this would be an ongoing effort. After years of training and studying to find real answers to difficult health and fitness questions Robert discovered that more and more people were coming to him with questions that they knew he could answer. In 1998 Robert completed certification through The National Academy of Sports Medicine and started training professionally in 1999. With constant focus on growth and development he sought out certification and educational programs that delivered results. In 2001 Robert completed the rigorous CHEK Golf Biomechanic certification and since has also been certified as a CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach as well as being certified through AFAA, APEX Nutrition, Reebok, and others. In 2008 Robert had the opportunity to become a St.John Neuromuscular Therapist which has enabled him to help clients overcome some of the most difficult chronic pain syndromes.

Bringing you a dynamic approach to treating muscular imbalances, utilizing Muscle Activation Techniques(MAT). Muscle Activation Techniques allows the body to achieve optimal functionality, without pain or injury by increasing the body's range of motion, restoring muscular alignment, and eliminating compensation patterns.

MAT is based on a checks-and-balances system which is used to identify limitations in joint range of motion and correlating them to isolated muscle weaknesses. The continuous evaluation procedure is followed up with a specific form of therapy which immediately stimulates inactive muscles and brings support to joints and their range of motion.

Whether rehabilitating an injury, trying to improve workout results, increasing your body's threshold to stress, or simply wanting to enjoy pain-free activities, MAT can help you achieve the wellness level you desire.
