I am Lina Nilsen. I earned the title of THE CHRONIC PAIN TRAINER because I am known for creating effective workout programs for people who are in pain but still want to exercise and reach their goals.
With the NASM model, I can take any client to any goal and I am superiorly qualified in working with beginners, chronic pain patients, seniors, and those in recovery from an injury.
Growing up, I always desired to be outdoors and moving. I spent many years on the school teams for basketball, golf, long-distance track, and Texas A&M Powerlifting. I began personal training during college in 2009 when the head trainer of a gym approached me and said, “I think you would be really good at this, if you get certified then I will hire you.” I went to school for Biology, thinking I wanted to enter western medicine, but after I graduated, I continued in my career of personal training to work on the preventive & holistic side of medicine. In 2019, I went through an invasive back surgery for a congenital tethered spinal cord and personally understand the journey of reconstruction. A large part of my recovery consisted of core training and earthing, because I believe the key to healing fully is by moving mindfully while connecting to the Earth’s electromagnetic energy. My ultimate mission is to restore the vitality of an aching population by reducing chronic pain & inflammation through grounding to the earth during corrective exercise.
As a trainer I base my training style on functional core movements that enhance posture & alignment and I enjoy giving exercises which often appear easy but are quite challenging 😉
My specializations include: Pain-Free Movement, Corrective Exercise, Self-Myofascial Release & Triggerpoint Therapy, Neuromuscular Stretching, Flexibility & Mobility, Stability, Joint Mobilizations, Core Training, Balance Training, Posture & Biomechanics Correction, General Performance Enhancement, Multiplanar Training, Golf Performance Training, Functional Multimodality Training, Muscle Building, Strength Training, Powerlifting, Circuit Training, and Group Training.
What makes my training unique is that I use a variety of equipment such as: TRX, Kettlebells, Dumbbells, SKLZ speed ladder/cones/hurdles, Bosu Ball, Boxing Mitts, Gliders, Resistance Bands, Monster Bands, Mats, TRX Rip Trainer, Mini Bands, Foam Rollers, Triggerpoint Tools, Pilates Ring, Ankle Weights, etc.
I am grateful in advance for the opportunity to serve you and I am eager to share your success story.
