Synopsis

How to reach your fitness goals, prevent pain and injury, and achieve optimal performance in work, sports, and life.

Pain is a byproduct of our busy, active lives, but it doesn’t have to be a constant and hindering presence. Whether your daily activity consists of caring for children, or training for marathons, Dr. Brenda Shaeffer’s program will help you find the balance you need to rethink, recognize, and reset your body. Her three-step method is easy to follow, with simple moves and exercises that will help you reach your optimal performance.

In Aligned for Success, you will learn about some common myths in physical fitness training, and how changes in our nutrition and sports programs in the past few decades have at times created a higher risk of injury and long-term health issues. Dr. Shaeffer helps you navigate the confusing and conflicting chatter about health and fitness.

You will learn to:

• Identify your issues and your goals

• Make a plan that will help you meet those goals

• Reset your body to reach your optimal performance

There’s no need to discontinue the sports you love. No matter your age or stage in life, Dr. Shaeffer’s program will help you reduce the risk of injury, and be in control of your body’s movement.
