SUSANNE WARE

SUSANNE WARE

TRAINER (BS, NASM-CPT, CNS, CF-L1)

As a high school athlete in Florida, Susanne learned early on the relationship between cross training and performance. Weight lifting and running became staples in her training regime as a player on the women’s soccer team at Wingate University. As she continued to integrate a variety of activities into her own personal fitness program and saw her conditioning soar, it increased her enthusiasm for the art of keeping fit.


Susanne has a passion for helping others. She believes it’s hard from some individuals to motivate, and then commit, to working out. However, working with a personal trainer can lead to getting results both physically and mentally. Plus, getting a good report from a doctor is a great motivator too!

JOSH BRIGHAM

JOSH BRIGHAM

Level 1 & 2 Certified Foundation Training Instructor, Certified FRC Mobility Specialist

Josh has quite a backstory, having his first back surgery at age 31 to fix a ruptured disc that had left his right arm partially paralyzed. Josh had also learned that he had a 90% degeneration of one of the discs in his spine, which would then lead to even more surgical intervention. He had never had any significant injuries or trauma, and was left with no answer as to why these problems were occurring. After experiencing chronic and debilitating pain, Josh looked into all sorts of solutions; physical therapy, zero gravity chairs, inversion tables, you name it. Finally, he discovered Foundation Training, which taught him that his problems were a result of a lifetime of poor posture and unhealthy movement patterns. FT provided Josh with significant relief, allowing him to do all the activities he thought he would never do again, such as running and hiking. Josh has spent the past 7 years studying FT and has received the highest certification possible. Josh is dedicated to helping others be free from chronic pain and live life without limits. He quotes that “whether you need to alleviate pain, increase mobility or enhance athletic performance, Foundation training can help unlock your body’s full potential!”

 

MIKE ELKIN

MIKE ELKIN

LMBT #2042

Mike moved to Charlotte in 1994 to help open The Southeastern School of Neuromuscular and Massage Therapy. He was the co-owner and the instructor of neuromuscular therapy and functional anatomy through 2005. Mike was also the team massage therapist for the Carolina Panthers from 2002 through 2020. He rejoined the treatment staff for the 2022 season after taking 2021 off.

Mike believes in a straightforward approach when it comes to bodywork. He believes that client education and addressing postural distortions is key. He states that “improved posture leads to enhanced biomechanics/range of motion, decreased compression of joints, nerves and blood vessels, and decreased pain. Increased performance on the athletic field and in the daily activities of life is the result.”

Mike uses a variety of methods to help clients achieve their goals, including neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, instrument assisted soft tissue therapy, deep tissue massage, and more. He believes that this approach leads to more resilient and adaptive neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems, helping the client move from sympathetic overdrive-fight or flight to parasympathetic-rest, digest, and heal mode.
