Personalized Stretching Coach

Stretching is fundamental to having a body that functions properly, stays injury free, and just feels good. Millions of people are living in chronic pain because their muscles, tendons or ligaments are just too tight. A few conditions that can be caused by tightness are: tendonitis, pinched nerves, plantar fasciitis, headaches, herniated discs, and low back pain.

I'm here to be your personalized stretching coach. I'll teach you the best stretches to help heal injuries and eliminate pain in your body.

I define athlete in a way that is more encompassing than the dictionary definition.

Athlete: anyone that participates in sports or other physically intense activities, or has participated in these activities in the past.

In other words, I believe “once an athlete, always an athlete”. Examples of people I consider to be athletes:

• Played sports in high school ⛹️
• Long distance runners 🏃 and cyclists 🚴
• (Ex) Military 🪖, Police 🚓, Firefighter 🚒, etc
• Rock climbers 🧗, body builders 🏋, weekend soccer players ⚽
• Hair braiders 🪮, Nurses 🧑‍⚕️, Construction workers 👷

I use this broader definition because there are many people that used to be athletes, who remember feeling strong, fast, and athletic. And they want to feel like that again. There are also many people whose jobs require intense physical training and activity, just like athletes. But age, injuries, and/or repetitive motions have caused pain, tension, and tightness. I want to help everyone feel good in their body, and acknowledge that many more people are athletes than is commonly assumed. I take a more holistic perspective about all the athletic activities you do, and any injuries you’ve experienced in the past.

Stretching helps restore the natural flexibility we had as children, allowing our joints to move more freely. Watch any young child moving around, and you'll see them comfortably move in ways that may seem impossible for you. Our bodies and joints are designed to move easily with full range, and stretching can help your body rediscover that.

When we sit in a chair for hours a day, 5 days a week, our muscles get stiff. When we perform repetitive motions over long periods of time such as typing, throwing a baseball, or riding a bike, then our muscles can get over used, tighten up, and be more prone to injury. Stretching can alleviate the pain and stiffness caused by prolonged sitting, repetitive motions, or other injuries, by helping your muscles unlock & relax.

Stretching increases blood circulation, which promotes better health & well being. Unlocking tight muscles often leads much greater blood flow in muscles that may have been deprived for years. Be sure to rest and drink plenty of water after a stretching session to help support your body.

When your muscles are tight and stiff, you are more likely to get injured. Improving your flexibility and range of motion helps you move better, maintain better balance, and recover faster from any injuries that may happen.

The UHP stretching system is adaptable to all ages, fitness levels, and ranges of motion. Whether you're an athlete, a desk worker, a senior citizen, a mom or a dad, Coach Kyanna can adapt stretches to your needs, and help assist with any movements.

Hi, I’m Kyanna, Founder of Masters of Mobility. I help people eliminate pain and tightness in their bodies by teaching stretching to a standard. Because everyone deserves to feel good in their bodies.

I noticed that as I got older, I began accumulating a number of physical ailments. Severe tightness in my shoulders, a stiff back, hips that always felt too tight and a little uneven, and some recurring numbness in my forearms whenever I would type at the computer a lot. Was it aging? Was it past sports injuries from my time as a competitive gymnast? Was it years of sitting at a desk working long hours as a lawyer? Or maybe it was all of the above.

My body was tight, stiff, and just not moving the way the it used to. Intuitively, I knew that stretching might be the answer to my challenges. But what stretches should I do? How long should I hold each stretch for? How often should I stretch? I wanted a system for stretching that was logical, effective, and tailored to my unique physical needs.

Then I found exactly what I was looking for - a uniquely effective stretching regimen created by the company Ultimate Human Performance (UHP). The program has been used for decades to treat US Navy Seals, professional athletes, and everyday folks like you and me. After months of diligent work I was able to heal my own areas of stiffness, tightness, and pain. I then started informally helping family and friends eliminate pain and tightness in their bodies through the UHP program. Finally, I decided to make it official. I became a UHP certified Physio-Kinesiologist and founded Masters of Mobility. Today I help people of all ages, backgrounds, and physical abilities eliminate pain and stiffness so that they can truly feel good in their bodies.
