Kainoa

Hello, my name is Kainoa Owens.

I’m a passionate, and dedicated coach with a unique background in professional soccer and over a decade of experience working alongside doctors, physical therapists, and high-level athletes throughout San Diego, and the Bay Area, CA.

As a former team captain and professional athlete, I dealt with ongoing discomfort from injuries and surgeries that never fully resolved. Despite everything I was told would-help, including strength training, physical therapy, and other conventional methods, yet my results were always temporary, and the pain would come back.

Desperate to maintain my fitness and playing time, I decided to build a career in personal training, at the same time playing professionally, and continued to rehab & progress diligently alongside elite trainers, and physical therapists on-the-field, and in clinics across California.

There, I began to notice a clear pattern. The same issues and set-backs that I experienced were affecting everyone of all ages, coaches, athletes, and even other professionals who had already “graduated” from physical therapy.

They too were stuck in a cycle of pain, temporary relief, and set-backs. The traditional methods most people relied were not creating lasting change.

Eventually, the repeated cycle of ‘injury, rehab, post-rehab (prehab), and high-intensity training (HIT) only worsened my conditions and led me to an earlier retirement than I planned.

This experience only pushed me to look deeper into human biomechanics. . .

When I discovered Functional Patterns (FP), it was like “eureka”, everything began to shift.

Instead of chasing symptoms, I began to finally understand how the body is meant to function within our foundational human movements like standing, walking, running, and throwing. By applying first-principles, correcting dysfunctional movement patterns & improving structural alignment, my body became more resilient, coordinated, and efficient than ever before.

This approach not only enhanced my physical health, but also elevated my mental and emotional well-being. Over time, I was able to move pain-free again and return to playing soccer at a high level with greater balance, awareness, and confidence in my body than when I was playing.

Today, I use this same methodology to help others achieve lasting results in pain relief, injury recovery, and performance without relying on short-temporary fixes.

This is something for everyone, but especially for those who are tired of being in pain, and cannot find solutions. This is the way.

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things, but your body still doesn’t feel right, you’re not alone. There is a more effective path forward.

Are you ready to look better, feel better, and move better?

The next step is simple.

Apply to work with me, and we’ll begin with a personalized posture-and-gait assessment to identify exactly what your body needs and map out a clear path forward!

Let’s get to it.

I look forward to guiding you through the process!

Aloha!
