About the GSRP
Learn to self-adjust and manage chronic pain conditions with exercise and breath assisted techniques.
The Gagnon Somatic Reintegration Program is a post-rehabilitation functional fitness program created by Sarah Gagnon. The long-term goal of every bio-individualized GSRP plan is to restore neuromyofascial integrity. View the five video GSRP series for more in -depth information; the first video is linked below. Sarah’s extensive experience with exercise while living with Fibromyalgia, SIBO and MCAD, combined with her work as an osteopathic manual practitioner, have been tremendous teaching tools, particularly moving into her 50s. Her work both in physiotherapy clinics supervising rehabilitative exercises, and with elite athletes such as triathletes, competitive skaters and dancers, offers a vast array of exercise approaches and variations for any individual, regardless of their exercise goals.

Decrease spending on therapies such as chiropractic, physiotherapy and osteopathy!!
The GSRP method is designed to increase core strength and improve spinal function, as well as increase range of motion and balance in the extremities. A well developed and executed GSRP plan can help to manage chronic conditions such as herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, piriformis syndrome and other joint dysfunctions. Rehab versions of each program are available to adjust the body during flare-ups thus reducing the need for manual adjustment therapies such as osteopathy, chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage. Nonetheless, any wellness journey involves a multi-modal approach and manual therapies are immensely helpful to help manage any type of pain or visceral dysfunction. Integrating a mindful exercise program such as the GSRP, significantly increases forward motion on your path to wellness! individualized functional fitness heal chronic pain post rehab functional training

Individually Tailored Goals
Individual programs are designed to achieve the following goals:
- Restore the spine’s natural curves and articulations,
- Restore axial and appendicular alignment
- Balance joint articulations and release adhesions that may restrict range of motion
- Balance neuromuscular recruitment patterns
- Restore neural and fascial integrity
- Improve cardiovascular function
Any individual, regardless of health status and physical fitness, can undertake the GSRP plan and achieve significant gains within 12 weeks.
Each program is individually tailored based on an in-depth musculoskeletal analysis and complete health history, all of which is completed either in-person, or online. Each uniquely-developed GSRP plan involves breath-assisted positional releases to help release soft tissue adhesions and move fluids along the detoxification pathways. These passive releases are performed along with a mindful functional fitness exercise program intended to restore nerve signaling in the regions of the neural web where there is suboptimal function that results in loss of contraction in sections of fibres within a muscle. Reports are provided and the program goals are explained in detail along with a suggested 3-month schedule of a weekly exercise routine. individualized functional fitness heal chronic pain post rehab functional training
