While the PNW has many gems, one of them is a very gifted, empathetic, and extremely talented professional. Charles is one of PDXs best resources for athletes, those searching for injury recovery, or any individual wanting to improve their wellness. I had seen my Sports physician, went to physical therapy for 5 months, acupuncture, and a pain management doctor all in hopes to successfully to try to get to the bottom of resolving my de-habilitating neck pain. I spent an entire year of seeking out different treatment options and was still left with daily pain. Charles was able to assess and pinpoint the cause of my pain within one visit. Delightfully, my pain level was able to be lowered by the end of my first visit. With the daily use of homework exercises, my pain level has continued to decrease. If you want to get better, see Charles.
I have been working with Charles for almost 4 years now and to this day I am forever grateful for the impact he's had on my life. His combination of deep tissue massage, strength training, and overall knowledge of proper body functioning have helped me overcome a variety of different injuries, to include fibula/clavicle fractures, shin splints, and, most recently, a torn hip labrum. His expertise and passion for healthy living has enabled me to return stronger than ever to the activities I know and love. If you are someone struggling with chronic pain or have a desire to forge elite level strength, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to use Charles as a resource. His systematic approach to solving one's problems or achieving one's goals is unparalleled, and I am confident he can have as much of an impact on your life as he's had on mine.
I recently saw Karen for shoulder/neck pain I was experiencing. However, through her strong attention to detail she was quick to realize there was more to the issue.
She was responsive to my needs and asked all the right questions helped uncover the real issues I was facing with quad tightness and knee pain. She not only is an amazing masseuse, but she took the time to explain different stretches and methods I could explore at home to reduce pain.
Since seeing Karen and implementing the techniques she taught me I have seen so much improvement in my pain level. She really goes the extra mile for her clients!
There isn't enough space on the whole internet for me to share how much Karen (and now Charles) have positively impacted my body and health.
I've been seeing Karen for massage therapy for over 4 years and she is INCREDIBLE. Empathic, kind and intuitive she really knows how to consistently do body work magic. I've tried to see other massage therapists but she has ruined me; noone else will do! Her range of stylistic ability is vast and she can easily adapt to whatever it is your body needs for each session. I always leave our sessions feeling calm and healed.
Recently, after discussing my chronic back pain issues, Karen recommended I see Charles. After only 2 sessions with him and continuing the movements he showed me for a few days my lower back is GONE. GONE. For the first time since I was in middle school (I suffered an injury in P.E. and have had back issues since). He's truly a miracle worker; his intake strategy was incredibly comprehensive and he has tailored a plan for my goals of becoming pain free and getting my strength back.
The Kent's are truly amazing and excel at their professions. Plus, they are just all-around lovely people! If you need any type of body work, pain alleviation or fitness consultations do yourself the biggest favor and reach out Advanced Results Fitness and Massage!
In November of last year I blew myself up on the squat rack. Triple hernia and grade 2 sprain of my abductor group. With the mental depression telling me this is the one that ends me as an active person I turned to beer and cheeseburgers. Why not join the other team and indulge? I'm 47, I'm not the strongest guy in the gym anymore. What a crybaby! 3 months and 30 lbs. later I decide to try and regain what I've lost. I went back to Crossfit spent 3 more months terrified of every workout. I was lost looking for someone to throw me a rope as I circled the drain. I get talked into trying Brazillian Jiu-jitsu by a friend. Its low impact movement, perfect for a middle aged fat guy. After a week or two of young athletic choke monsters having their way with me the black belt Eric tells me about this trainer that shares space with the dojo and suggest I talk to Charles.
I've been working with Charles for about 2 1/2 months now. I've dropped 25 lbs. I've regained an athletic mind set. I feel strong again. That's the easy stuff. I could have joined "Punch" or "Crunch" or "Douche bag looks in mirror while flexing" gym grabbed one of their certified trainers for some private cheerleading and got results.
What Charles brings to the table is like nothing I've experienced in my whole (semi) athletic career. With in 10 minutes of our first meeting he was diagnosing issues based on the way I moved. Laid me on the table for a quick massage and found more problems.
He has helped me understand my body, why it moves the way it moves and how to correct the movement issues I have. With his ability to educate while holding me accountable I have changed my attitude about who I am and who I can be.
Read the other reviews, they are all true to my experience.
This is training on a different level. I don't even refer to him as my trainer, I tell my friends I'm going to my therapist. If you need help this is your guy.
I've been training with Charles for over four years now and he has truly transformed my body, mind, and my life. I couldn't ask for a more motivating, compassionate, and authentic partner to help me reach my physical goals! I've lost nearly 100lbs of body fat and have never felt better. Looking forward to the next four years!
After dealing with back pain for 8 months I took my Jiu Jitsu coach's advice and made an appointment with Charles. Around the time of my first appointment I could barley bend over to tie my shoes due to my low back pain. Now, after 3 months of hard work, I am able to squat again, practice jiu jitsu and perform everyday activities pain-free. Charles' unique combination of sports massage and personal training has helped put me back together again. He diligently works to teach proper movement for a strong and sustainable body and his passionate, attentive demeanor will make you feel comfortable and at-home. I highly recommend Charles for anyone seeking massage therapy, personal training or both!
After seeing Charles just two times in 1 month, my pains are nearly gone! My strength is almost completely back, and not only that but the main thing that separates Charles from other specialists is that he listens, offers advice, and through his personal experiences, has the knowledge of educating on how to prevent future injuries for your physical activities and daily life. 5/5 star!
