Personal Trainer Carrie Garcia joined the Los Alamos Chiropractic Center team. Garcia has offered her services to Los Alamos Chiropractic Center, 557 Oppenheimer Ste. 100, since Feb. 1.
As a certified personal trainer, orthopedic specialist, corrective exercise specialist, group fitness instructor and yoga teacher, Garcia said, “I love working with people who are having apprehension about exercise or who have limitations in their movement and I’m able to help them enjoy things in their life they might not have been able to do in the past.”
Garcia emphasized that she doesn’t treat pain; however, she has been working in the fitness industry since 2015. Garcia teaches fitness classes and works as a personal trainer at the Family YMCA.
She added that when Los Alamos Chiropractic Center Owner Dr. Charles Lenz moved his practice to 557 Oppenheimer in January, he wanted to create a center that encompasses a lot of different areas of wellness. As a result, there are spaces for acupuncture and an in-house exercise room, which features hand weights, a squat rack and a row machine.
Lenz said he is happy to have Garcia at the center.
“I’m excited to have Carrie join our team,” he said. “We’re now able to address muscular imbalances, fitness and proper movement. This is going to allow us to be more effective with treating many varieties ailments.”
Sessions with Garcia are available 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday and can be held in conjunction with a chiropractic appointment or by itself. People do not need to be a patient at the center to schedule a session with Garcia.
To schedule an appointment, call 505.662.3022.
