My name is Elijah Schneidewind, and I am a Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Massage and Bodywork Therapist, and Arvigo Practitioner of Mayan Abdominal Massage. I have my Bachelor’s in Exercise Science, and have over a decade of experience and education in various physical therapy and athletic training settings. During my time at 16 different treatment centers across the country, I have provided treatment to Olympic Champions and many other professional athletes, elderly populations, pediatric populations, collegiate and high school athletes, blue-collar workers, and countless others in between. I, myself am a lifelong athlete who enjoys spending time in the great outdoors and being as active as I can be. Despite a number of injuries throughout my teen years, I eventually became an All-American Collegiate Cross Country runner by learning how to not only overcome each injury, but become stronger and faster after each. While running is still one of my favorite activities, I have focused more on functional strength and movement in my post-collegiate days. With this being said, I am a firm believer in movement being the best medicine, and I would love to help you get moving and feeling better in your body! I am also a lifelong learner and a steward of the land. I value nature, sustainability, justice, equality, peace, and love. Outside of work, I enjoy spending the majority of my time with my family (wonderful partner, an energetic pup, two adorable kitty cats, and a baby boy on the way) and friends gardening, cooking, doing building projects, and various other homesteading activities on the beautiful land we call home in the Appalachian Mountains. I look forward to helping community members get out of pain for a more functional and enjoyable lifestyle, so we can live long and prosper TOGETHER.
