We started using the name BEstrong, not only as a reference to physical strength but to mental strength as well. A strong mental health is key to progress in training and in better life style. Our key focus is on better life, with healthier body and happier mind. We have a good background to help people get problem areas better. Work around bad back, shoulders or knees, but also to fix those areas as well.
