Mobility

The Importance of Mobility

Mobility is the foundation of proper movement. 

Improper movement patterns lead to aches, pains, limited range of motion, and overall movement limitations.

Mobility training is great for improving joint function and stability, increasing range of motion, strengthening connective tissue, decreasing joint pain, and increasing overall quality of life.

Mobility sessions consist of simple exercises that move the body in different ranges of motion and planes of motion. Most exercises require no equipment so they can be completed anywhere at any time!

If you change the way you move, you can change the way the body feels on a daily basis.

Jena is native to the area as she grew up in Penns Valley. She graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Kinesiology from Lock Haven University. She then accepted the Assistant Olympic Sports Strength and Conditioning Coach position at the Pennsylvania State University where she assisted with the programming of over 25 Men and Women’s Division I teams.

Jena personally developed and implemented the strength and conditioning programs for Men and Women’s Diving, Women’s Tennis and Men’s Track and Field Multi-Jumpers and High Jumpers throughout her 4 years. Jena started traveling the east coast and held a number of different job positions within the fitness industry. Coming from her previous position as a Performance Trainer at a chiropractic-functional movement based practice, and the founding location of the 8 Weeks to Wellness program, she has gained experience with the logistics and communication skills between trainer and chiropractor to best serve the patients’ needs.

She and her husband have relocated from the Greater Philadelphia Area to grow their roots here in State College. As Director of Performance Programs, she offers mobility and one-on-one strength training sessions.

BeWell Founder Monica Montag has been working with Jena since last summer and seeing real improvement in her range of motion and strength. She is happy to report that she can now lift 40 lb bags of salt to fill the water softener!

Her comment: “This is a MUST activity for anyone over 50. It’s safe, effective and the results are fun to experience! Relatively small effort for measurable benefits.”
