Personalized strength training built to heal chronic pain, restore movement, and build a body that performs โ and lasts. One-on-one with certified trainer Josh Simpson.
Meet Josh Simpson
No pharmaceutical comes close to what consistent, intelligent strength training does to the human body. It's the single most powerful intervention for longevity, pain, heart health, bone density, mental health, and metabolic function โ all in one. The research is overwhelming. The only question is: are you doing it right?
Strength training reduces cardiovascular disease risk by up to 40% โ independent of aerobic exercise.
Progressive loading is the most effective non-pharmaceutical intervention for preventing osteoporosis.
Resistance training reduces depression symptoms, improves cognitive function, and protects against dementia.
Muscle is your largest glucose disposal organ. More muscle = better insulin sensitivity and energy regulation.
Grip strength and muscle mass are among the strongest predictors of lifespan in every major aging study.
Targeted strength training reduces fall risk by over 30% in older adults โ one of the leading causes of death.
This isn't a generic workout. Every session is built around your body, your history, and your goals โ with protocols designed to heal while you train.
Josh specializes in chronic back, knee, and joint pain. The same protocols that healed his own decades-long back pain are the foundation of every program.
Posture, breathing, and movement are corrected at the root โ not masked. Every session builds the structural foundation your body needs.
Intentional breathing is woven into every movement. Breath drives nervous system regulation, core stability, and recovery โ and most people have never been taught to use it.
Strength is built systematically โ never recklessly. The KOT method and Lowbackability protocols ensure you get stronger without creating new injuries.
Josh is certified in Shockwave Therapy โ one of the most powerful tools in regenerative medicine. Available to accelerate healing alongside your training program.
No cookie-cutter programs. Your plan is built around your body, your pain points, your goals, and your pace. You progress when you're ready.
Josh's background is rooted in a dedicated yogic practice specialized in teaching posture and breathwork. Over time, he developed a comprehensive method that integrates functional movement, structural alignment, and intentional breathing into a regenerative strength progression โ designed to stabilize, restore, and heal the body.
His philosophy is simple: there is no substitution for one's own strength. Strength provides the necessary framework for balance, alignment, and resilience.
After suffering from chronic back pain for decades himself, Josh pieced together the foundational elements necessary for a truly healthy, functional, pain-free back. Having transformed his own life, he now guides others along that same path toward lasting recovery and performance.
Josh is also certified in Shockwave Therapy through the Academy of Shockwave Excellence โ one of the most powerful tools in regenerative and alternative medicine โ expanding his ability to support tissue healing, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery.
Josh's approach is built on two of the most evidence-backed systems in movement medicine today.
Pioneered by Ben Patrick, the KOT method reverses decades of conventional wisdom that said "never let your knees go over your toes." The truth: controlled, progressive loading through full range of motion is exactly what heals knees, hips, and ankles โ and builds bulletproof lower body strength. The athletes and everyday people using this protocol are experiencing recoveries that were previously thought impossible.
The Lowbackability system is built on the foundational work of Dr. Stuart McGill and the next generation of spine rehabilitation research. It identifies the specific movement patterns, loads, and progressions that heal the low back rather than aggravate it. For chronic back pain sufferers, this is the missing framework โ not rest, not surgery, not medications. Targeted, intelligent loading that rebuilds stability from the ground up.
High-energy acoustic waves that disrupt calcifications, stimulate collagen production, activate mechanotransduction pathways, promote cellular regeneration, and reduce pain mediators. Josh pairs shockwave sessions with strength programming to dramatically accelerate tissue healing. Effective for plantar fasciitis, tendinopathy, shoulder injuries, knee pain, and beyond. Now expanding into neurology and cardiology applications.
Real people, real results โ in their own words.
Whether you're healing from injury, managing chronic pain, or building strength for longevity โ Josh has a protocol for you.
Stop managing pain. Stop settling for a body that limits you. Josh works one-on-one with every client to build a program that heals, strengthens, and transforms โ for life. Connect with him at Total Family Wellness today.
