Dan Defigio figured out that I needed core stabilization training many years ago after 20 yrs of experiencing chronic right low back, buttock, hip, and pelvic pain, seeing numerous sports med physicians, orthopedists, and chiropractors, and completing at least three intensive bouts of PT. He was just performing a courtesy evaluation before I started his boot camp weight loss program after I told him I had chronic low back/sciatic pain. His evaluation, diagnosis of the problem, and recommended core stabilization exercises changed my life for the better in many ways. Not only did I no longer have chronic pain, I could again enjoy daily more intensive exercise, incl running, hiking, dancing, weightlifting, mountain biking, HIIT, and I could finally lose and maintain weight. I am deeply grateful for all the years I’ve been able to exercise and live healthily without pain solely due to his help. I recommend him highly to anyone struggling with similar chronic pain, weight, and/or movement/exercise issues.

Working with Dan has be an absolute game changer. It honestly feels like he knows exactly what’s wrong with your body before you even finish explaining the issue. Dan truly thinks outside the box and doesn’t just rely on standard cookie cutter routines. His combination of targeted exercise, and expert massage like manual therapy techniques completely resolved my issues. If you want a Physical Therapist, who actually gets to the root of the problem look no further!

Kavious was great for the few months that I trained with him. My mom thought he was knowledgeable, polite, a good choice. I thought he was creative and careful. His schedule was fine, we met about 1 or 2 times a week in person. He's very communicative, texts often with updates and check ins so I feel it is easy to reach him anytime. I think he is a good trainer for former athletes to or anyone who is "generally healthy" without significant fitness problems but wants to level up.
