Corrective Exercise

Nolan Barco, CPT, MPT
Program Director

My name is Nolan Barco, and I am originally from Miami, Florida. Growing up I was very passionate about gymnastics. After an unfortunate injury, I was no longer able to pursue that passion. Through high school I competed in a myriad of sports which inspired me to begin weight training. After high school I attended the United States Military Academy where I studied kinesiology. In addition to my studies, I was on the Army Powerlifting Team and the Army Strength and Conditioning team. I have held a variety of positions within the fitness industry including personal trainer, stretch therapist, corrective exercise specialist, and assistant fitness director. I am excited to be working with the team at FX Spine & Performance as we continue to develop revolutionary techniques to maximize our clients and patient’s capabilities.

Corrective exercise is a technique that uses the science behind how the body moves in order to address movement compensations as well as imbalances throughout the body. By determining the “root cause” of why your joints hurt, our CES certified Personal Trainer will develop individualized programs to meet your specific needs. At FX, we implement proper movements of exercise to reduce pain and stress, strengthen muscles, increase joint stability and improve posture.

What is Functional Movement Screening?

FMS is a screening tool used to evaluate seven fundamental movement patterns in individuals with no current pain complaint or musculoskeletal injury. The FMS is not intended to diagnose orthopedic problems but rather to demonstrate opportunities for improved movement in individuals.

What is Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)?

SFMA helps to expose possible asymmetries and pathological movement patterns, as the root cause of a painful problem. At FX Spine & Performance Center the SFMA enables Dr. DeAngelo to identify and treat regions in the body that lack mobility (range of motion), or stability (motor control), allowing for an accurate treatment to restore pain-free function and movement.
