The solution is in your story

FREEBORN CONTINUUM

The intensity of your exercises will adapt as your body changes. Your programming will advance as quickly as possible to give you the safest and most effective results.

The four phases of the Freeborn Continuum are not mutually exclusive and, in many ways, occur simultaneously. Your body must be re-engineered with consistent, disciplined action.

Your story holds the key to developing unique exercise patterns to reach your goals.

  • Phase 1: Discover your weakest links and wake-up the body.

  • Phase 2: Harmonize your musculoskeletal system throughout the five kinetic chains.

  • Phase 3: Increase your dynamic loads with multiphase movement progressions.

  • Phase 4: Establish longterm behaviors for a healthy and vital life.

Testimonials

REAL STORIES. REAL RESULTS.

Laura Matsue

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My neck and whole body feel more aligned today than they have in years. Whatever it is we did yesterday is already creating some deep structural changes. I also feel so much calmer and centered, I believe because some of this chronic tension was finally released yesterday.

I am really grateful for the work you’re doing and that I found it!

Casey Ury

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After having neck pain for years, due to injuries and dancing my whole life, I have tried everything to heal.

Muscle memory is taking control of my body and I am breaking the damaging postures. I am learning to reconnect my spine the correct way.

FNP is a lifestyle change that's worth the effort!

Dr. Dean Tsarwhas

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had previously been a client of John Welch and always respected his knowledge and dedication.

After a few sessions and practicing John’s principle of spine health my neck pain resolved!

I would strongly recommend John Welch to anyone looking to improve their spine and overall health.

Jason Gould

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My first time doing the neck protocols I felt relaxed and at a peace of mind. It was so powerful that I thought I would fall asleep during the session with John.

Throughout 2021 I did FNP a lot during the day at random times.

I felt that it really helped my running!
