about LINK

Linking the science of fluid, efficient movement to the pursuit of every individual’s optimal foundation for performance.

LINK Advanced Movement Mechanics

Every one of us, from the average person right through to the professional athlete, develops postures and patterns of movement that are unique – shaped by habit, experience, injury. These patterns form the basis of our capacity to perform the activities that matter to us.

Link Advanced Movement Mechanics is a system. Our mission is to assess movement, identify triggers that may be causing pain or limiting range of motion, and guide you through a tailored training program that will stabilize, strengthen, and facilitate increased freedom of movement and improved function.

Chris Morrison

Chris has a life-long history and passion for sport and training. He played competitive hockey until his mid-20s before pursuing a career in emergency services. Overuse injuries from sport led to his need to have bilateral hip surgery to repair the joints. This period in his life created an opportunity to reset his approach to training. The need to ensure proper movement patterning/muscle recruitment to ensure joint stability and integrity is most important, then you can worry about loading. Chris has a true passion for training and desire to help others improve the way they move so they too can enjoy life the way it is meant to be lived – constantly moving.

Pamela Goodman

Pamela joined Link four years ago and brought with her a fresh movement perspective. A dancer from an early age, Pamela grew up experiencing firsthand the physical extremes the body can be pushed to in the pursuit of top performance. After leaving the dance industry, she became a Fully Certified STOTT PILATES® Instructor, where she met Sally Belanger. Upon completing her certification, Pamela chose to take her training a step further, completing her (B.A.S.E) Inside-Out Training course. Now armed with a comprehensive knowledge of biomechanics, exercise physiology, and anatomy, she works with clients and athletes at all levels. Pamela also works with the general population, post-rehabilitative and sport-specific clients, emphasizing core strength, joint stability and proper muscular recruitment throughout. Her primary focus is on creating pain-free, functional and sport-specific movement patterns. She strives to empower her clients, helping them develop a confident and deeply informed understanding of how and why their body functions the way it does. She may not be able to throw a ball (yet), but she has an eye for proper biomechanics and the skills to rehabilitate, stabilize and strengthen the body.

Trent Peterson

In his ten years as an NSCA certified personal trainer—the last six in a rehabilitation setting—Link AMM trainer Trent Peterson has worked with athletes from amateur to pro level. His approach to helping his clients’ athletic performance involves seeing the body as a working system, looking at the whole picture in order to solve smaller issues. Trent continues to build on his impressive knowledge by studying Athletic Therapy at Sheridan College. Here’s what he has to say:

As far as injuries and cases go, I have worked with and trained people with everything from soft-tissue injuries (sprains and strains), pre- and post-surgical interventions (ACL, MCL, and meniscal tears, hip replacements, etc.), and spinal injuries to people with cardiopulmonary disorders (quite a long list from head to toe).

Seeing all of these injuries and having my strength-and-conditioning background attracted me to going back to school for athletic therapy because I felt I could help bridge the gap from injury rehabilitation to performance. I’ve always felt that there is a lack of education given to the athlete from treatment to being back in the weight room, on the ice, field, or court.

Although I am a complete hockey nerd, having played as a goaltender for 20 years, I have worked with a multitude of athletes from a range of sports: lacrosse, soccer, hockey, volleyball, basketball, football, and synchronized swimming.
