Introducing the Weekly Mobility Class by William Albritton

In a survey completed by our members several months ago, mobility was the area you wanted to see more developed at CrossFit Alexandria. At about the same time a valuable resource came along. His name is John Davidson.

John is a Physical Therapist and avid CrossFitter.  We have partnered with him to bring you a weekly mobility class at 5:30pm on Thursdays. The purpose of the class is to resolve pain, prevent injury and optimize athletic performance. Often a person has movement issues and impingements they are not aware exist. These restrictions cause dysfunctional movement patterns that can cause injury and take away speed and power. If you are wanting to live healthy and free from restrictions, I highly recommend you put this class on your schedule as often as possible.

John graduated in ’04 from Louisiana College with a B.S. in Athletic training. He completed the dual degree program at the University of St. Augustine with a Masters in Occupational Therapy and a Clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy in ’07. John has worked with various college and professional teams. He also has worked as a physical/occupational therapist in an outpatient clinical setting, acute care rehab, and currently in home health. His clinical doctoral work was on lumbar instability and manual therapy.

John was a collegiate soccer player and has completed numerous endurance events including marathons, triathlons and road bike events. He is married to Courtney and they have two kids ages 3 and 1.
