ABOUT
CHRISTOPHER
Christopher’s Background &
Education
At 19, I was an all-state soccer player on my way to the top!
After having a debilitating lower back injury that lead to a surgical fusion of
my sacrum and lumbar spine (L5), I could never fully recover and it ended my
college and professional soccer aspirations because of chronic muscle pain and
injuries.
After receiving my BA from Franklin College and years of being
frustrated with my workouts, I became a Certified Personal Trainer to learn more
about how to keep myself from becoming injured, and more importantly, help other
people avoid similar traumatic experiences related to physical activity.
After three years of training, I felt that something was
missing. Some people I trained just couldn’t seem to get the results they
wanted no matter how hard they tried. Then I came across MAT and I knew it was
the missing link!
I was never the same after experiencing my first MAT session.
MAT finally offered the much desired pain relief I had been seeking for the last
17 years. So, I set out to become a MAT Specialist. The internship program was
created in 2000 and is on the cutting edge of exercise and increasing sports
performance and recovery. This program is equivalent to a two-year Master's
degree in the study of Muscle Physiology, Anatomy and Biomechanics. I am the
only Certified MAT Specialist on the Jersey Shore.
After addressing my range of motion and muscle weakness issues, I
became very frustrated with working out and personal training. I kept
re-injuring myself because I hadn’t made the full commitment to change my day to
day actions that were contributing to my own pain. The greatest definition for
this is insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
a different result! These are words I live by everyday in my life.
As a result of my frustrations with working out and my
willingness to ask questions, I developed the Core Restore Program. Core
Restore Training™ is a restorative fitness regimen that effectively trains your
body to resist gravity which is the one true way to develop core strength! This
training program is complimentary to any exercise or training program.
Christopher received his bachelor’s degree and graduated in the
December of 1991 from Franklin College in Franklin, Indiana. He was the Captain
of his high school soccer team his senior year and made the All-State Soccer
Roster his Junior and Senior years. He was a college athlete and was a member of
the Franklin Grizzlies Soccer team for his freshman and sophomore years. He has
been a Certified Personal Trainer from the American College of Sports Medicine (ASCM)
and from the National Sports and Conditioning Association (NSCA) since 2005. He
has been a Certified MAT Specialist since March of 2007.
