The BioMechanics Method is pleased to announce Cassidy O'Brien as the winner of the health and
fitness industry's most prestigious specialty award. Recognized as
one of the top personal trainers in Charlotte, NC, Cassidy recently made history
with her work as a Corrective Exercise Specialist helping a pro
soccer player return to the pitch after what most professionals
considered a career-ending neck injury.
BELTON,
Texas, July 12, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
BioMechanics Method, the highest-rated provider of corrective
exercise education for fitness, exercise and health professionals,
is pleased to name Cassidy O'Brien
as the Corrective Exercise Specialist of the Year® for 2024. The
Corrective Exercise Specialist of the Year award recognizes an
individual who is certified in The BioMechanics Method, currently
providing corrective exercise services to clients/patients, and has
demonstrated exceptional application of their corrective exercise
skills. We are honored to recognize Cassidy for her truly
remarkable accomplishments in the area of corrective exercise.
"I am excited to further my reach in this
city and educate others about the impact of corrective
exercise."
Cassidy has been working in the fitness industry for nearly ten
years and is currently the North Territory Fitness Director for
Phenom Trainers in Charlotte, North
Carolina. Considered to be the leading personal training
facility for preventative care in the Charlotte area, Cassidy and her team of a
dozen Phenom Trainers are transforming lives every day. In addition
to training and mentoring the Phenom Trainers staff in corrective
exercise protocols, Cassidy specializes in working with clients
that have unusual injuries and special conditions. Phenom Trainers
owner Cullen Overholt says, "Two of
the non-common injuries Cassidy has worked with are traumatic brain
injuries and spinal injuries. With both types of injuries
oftentimes a physical therapist or personal trainer doesn't have
much success or are not even sure how to help. Cassidy has worked
with both and done things that very few personal trainers can."
One of the clients Cassidy saw at Phenom Trainers after
receiving her Corrective Exercise Specialist certification from The
BioMechanics Method (TBMM-CES) was a young man named Josh who was
hit by a drunk driver. "Everyone rejected working with him because
they deemed him paralyzed for life", she said. "Immediately I began
to grasp for knowledge in training someone who was told they would
never move again." She is now going on 5 years of working with him
and says Josh "continues to surprise me every day. He is now moving
his legs, arms, and neck and is going to get a standing wheelchair
that will help him so much more."
Cassidy was also recently credited as successfully assisting a
professional athlete back from a potentially career-ending spinal
cord injury. Charlotte Independence defender Clay Dimick was told by doctors that he would
never play soccer again after two ruptured discs in his cervical
spine were found to be pressing on his spinal cord. After
recovering from a multi-level disc surgery and 6 months of
post-surgery training with Cassidy, Clay returned to the pitch in a
preseason game as the first professional athlete fully cleared to
return to play after a two level cervical disk replacement. "I am
so proud of Clay and his dedication to my process" says O'Brien. "I
would not be changing lives without the knowledge I have gained
through The BioMechanics Method Corrective Exercise Specialist
course; we have made history this year!"
In addition to earning her Corrective Exercise Specialist
(TBMM-CES) credential from The BioMechanics Method in 2021, Cassidy
is certified as a personal trainer and Sports Performance
Specialist through the American Council on Exercise. Having
previously pursued a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, Cassidy
has also recently completed a degree in Kinesiology.
As the 2024 Corrective Exercise Specialist of the Year, Cassidy
will serve as a spokesperson on corrective exercise for The
BioMechanics Method. She also receives an award trophy, a prize
package from The BioMechanics Method and equipment from industry
leaders BOSU® and TRX Training.
Runner-up for the Corrective Exercise Specialist of the Year®
award was Dr. Senthil Kumar Subramanian Associate Professor in
Medical Physiology at All India Institute of Medical Sciences in
Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India.
