Ling Clinic. He also understands the need , and incorporates relaxation and energy work into his sessions, to help calm the otherwise hectic ""A...pass B and C...go directly to Z"" New Yorker. His intent for Personal Training is not only to promote external results, but to assess each individual and see where postural imbalances lie and create a program to best address those postural issues.
