Joe Lim – Soft Tissue Physical Therapist

Joe previously worked in the health and fitness industry as a senior personal trainer & strength coach for over 4 years. He now specializes in the treatment soft-tissue dysfunctions. These dysfunctions can exist even in the absence of any painful symptoms, but once addressed, will enable the client to train to their best potential. Joe firmly believes that to maximise a client’s results, you have to address their soft-tissue restrictions first, THEN you can train them effectively. Just like nutritional factors can influence over 80% of a person’s weight loss attempts, treating soft-tissue dysfunctions, even minor ones, can lead to a 50-80% better chance of them developing increased strength/muscle gain and subsequently better fat loss results.

Joe has a Diploma of Remedial Massage and is a practicing Active Release Technique
(A.R.T.) therapist. In 2006, Joe completed an advanced strength training internship with Charles Poliquin (a world renowned Strength Coach). During the internship, Charles demonstrated some revolutionary soft-tissue manipulation techniques on some students, called Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.), which led to immediate strength and flexibility increases in the muscles just treated. Joe has witnessed the remarkable potential of A.R.T. firsthand.

Joe is a physical therapist who can effectively treat a variety of muscle, joint and nerve dysfunctions.

Joe’s qualifications include:

• Bachelor of Commerce
• Certificate IV Personal Trainer
• Poliquin International Certification Program (PICP) Level 2 Certified Strength Coach
• Diploma of Remedial Massage
