Check out this week's episode with Catherine Cowey! Catherine brings a wealth of education and years of athletic experience to her role as a personal trainer. As an athlete, she sustained several injuries, which led her to study the body and the mechanisms of injury and healing. Catherine pulls from this past working experience but has a thirst for knowledge that is never quenched. She has continued to evolve her practice and use the most up-to-date research and methods to better help her clients with injuries, pain, and increasing general fitness. Catherine also has an avid interest in working with hypermobile individuals. Her consummate research has given her insight into the best ways to deal with many of the multi-faceted symptoms that come with having joint hypermobility syndrome.
