Who designed SpinalFit?
SpinalFit was designed by Phillip E Carlyle DC, CCWP, BCIM. He has been a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic for 14 plus years. He was Georgia’s first Board Certified Wellness Physician and is also Board Certified in Integrative Medicine. He has a lifetime of exercise experience ranging from multiple high school sports to 6 years as a United States Marine. He has been formally trained as a Crossfit Level 1 trainer, a Crossfit Kids trainer, and a United States Association of Weightlifting Level 1 Sports Performance trainer.
Why did Dr. Carlyle design SpinalFit?
Dr. Carlyle saw a need for an exercise program for his patients with spinal conditions. He would give exercises for patients to do at home but couldn’t guarantee compliance or safety because of poor form or technique. He also regularly was seeing patients that were exercising at home or at gyms that had injured themselves. Therefore, he decided to design SpinalFit.
