Rene worked as a massage therapist at Camp Pendleton military base for 9 years. Working with athletic military personnel, she treated symptoms from bootcamp, basic training, war injuries, helicopter injuries, motorcycle crashes and wear and tear at the gym. She utilized the techniques of massage, stretching and specific strengthening exercises to help heal scar tissue and numbness from accidents and alleviate many muscle syndromes and joint pain, headaches, foot cramps and sprains.

Rene shares her knowledge with those who work with her. She can explain how lack of circulation, old injuries, joint misalignment and scar tissue can inhibit ones athletic ability and cause discomfort and inflammation. She created “The Steel Core Series” to alleviate a bound up diaphragm, and allow for more efficient breathing. Her unique “Shoulder Shop” became a popular fix for misaligned and tight shoulders from overuse and rotator cuff injuries. Her program for sports specific common complaints such as for skiers and snowboarders, “The Sy Method” helps to align the legs so that they pull evenly on the hips and SI joint. She also addresses neuropathic pain and arthritis and has experience with ALS, Downs syndrome, scoliosis, paralyzation, amputations and prosthetics. She has been invited to work with the 2024 US Paralympic golf team.

Rene’s area of expertise is joint stability, connective tissue, posture, biomechanics and breathing. No matter what the issue; surgery, a sprain, knots or general tightness, she will help you return to your play better and stronger.

Moran (whom the Sy Method is named after) and Olympian Tyler Nicholson, a current Canadian snowboard Big Air and slope style participant in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
