This week on Optimize Me I had the pleasure of speaking with an amazing friend and great guy Jared Coffey. Not only is Jared super smart and a plethora of information on all things biomechanics, he also has one of the nicest beards I've seen. 😂 Jared is a Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist, Fascial Stretch Therapist, and Performance coach who believes in helping others achieve quality human movement while increasing athleticism. All of his programs stress the importance of optimal joint/tissue function needed for athletic performance as well as life’s activities. Jared believes that each person he works with should learn the basic functioning properties of their joints so they can get strong and healthy at the same time.
