The 5 Elements of Holistic Health
When designing a holistic health program, we take 5 elements of holistic health into consideration:

- Nourishment: nutrition, digestion, energy, mood, vitamins and minerals and hydration
- Fufilment: gratitude, confidence, healthy physique, goal fulfilment and quality of life
- Connection: Sense of belonging, Group Training, & Events Personal Support
- Stress Management: Mindfulness, hot & cold therapy, yoga, inflammation support and building self-awareness
6 Key Characteristics of Sustainable Personal Training Programs
Posture
When we’re sitting all day, we’re not using our bodies in the way they were designed to be used, which can lead to pain and tension. So, our holistic health programs focus on improving posture to help the body function more optimally.
How We Look at A Person’s Posture
We look at a person’s posture from all angles to get a comprehensive view of the problem. Then we prescribe exercises and stretches that will help correct the issue.
- Shoulders – Many people carry their stress in their shoulders, leading to tension and pain.
- Neck – A person’s neck is often the first to show signs of anxiety and stress.
- Back – Poor posture can lead to back pain and other health problems.
- Hips – When the hips are out of alignment, it can cause a cascade of problems elsewhere in the body.
Mobility
Many people suffer from restricted mobility due to busy lifestyles, injuries, surgeries, or other health conditions. Our holistic personal training programs integrate ways to improve mobility and range of motion to help you move more freely and pain-free.
How We Address Mobility Issues
During your New Member Assessment, we assess your mobility, movement patterns, and range of motion. Then, your coach will integrate progressive exercises and activities that will help improve mobility, while you gain strength. Additionally, your coach may recommend massage therapy to help improve up tight muscles and joints.
Strength
Many people are unaware of the importance of strength training. Our holistic health programs focus on building strength to help clients stay healthy and independent as they age.
How We Help Clients Build Strength
We use a variety of exercises, disciplines, and training methods to help clients build strength. Our training programs may contain compound movements, rebalancing exercises, and even practices from Strongman and gymnastics to help you achieve your fitness goals.
The Importance of Strength Training
Strength training is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. It can help improve your overall health, improve your quality of life, increase your strength and endurance while preventing your risk of injury.
Cardiovascular Health
Cardiovascular health is essential for overall wellness. Our holistic health programs focus on improving cardiovascular health to help the client stay healthy and active.

Living Pain-Free
Pain is one of the most common complaints we hear from our members. Therefore, our holistic health programs focus on reducing pain and inflammation within the body to improve your quality of life.
What Causes Pain?
- Postural Alignment Mobility Issues – When muscles and joints are not correctly aligned, it can cause pain.
- Tension – When we’re stressed, we often carry that tension in our muscles, leading to pain.
- Past Injury – A previous injury can often lead to chronic pain.
Longevity
A healthy lifestyle is essential for long and happy life. Our holistic health programs promote longevity to help clients live long and healthy life.
Helping Our Clients Live Longer
There are many programs out there that are hard or fast or very controlled. These cause people to acquire short-term results, injuries, and burn-outs. At 5th Element Wellness, we take a different approach to health and wellness by promoting a holistic lifestyle.
We believe that a long and healthy life comes from balance, moderation, and enjoying life. Our holistic health programs focus on helping our clients find that balance and enjoy life to the fullest.
