I received my Doctor of Chiropractic Degree in 2006 from the University Of Bridgeport College Of Chiropractic and have been actively training clients and athletes for over 7 years. I have had the pleasure of working with clients and athletes of all ages and skill level, from the 85 year old client working to maintain strength and optimal ranges of motion and function,

to the 14 year old soccer player looking to increase performance and reduce the incidence of injury. Having suffered injuries in sport and managing the recovery and rehabilitative aspects, I know firsthand what it takes to rebuild both physical and mental strength in order to regain optimal performance. My integrated approach as well as my education in health and fitness has enabled me to maximize results with my clients and instill in them the confidence they need to not only reach their goals but surpass them toward the my goal for them which is always optimal performance.

Brian Fama, MS, CSCS
Education:
Master’s of Science in Exercise Science and Nutrition – Sacred Heart University
Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Science – Sacred Heart University

Professional Accreditations:
Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) – National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA)
Certified Health Fitness Specialist (HFS) – American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
USA Weightlifting (USAW-2) – Advanced Sports Performance Coach

I earned my M.S. in Exercise Science and Nutrition from Sacred Heart University in 2011. I conducted original research and successfully defended my Master’s thesis on “The Acute Effects of Self-Myofascial Release on Lower Extremity Plyometric Performance”. Prior to teaming up with the OGSWC staff, I spent 10 years working in allied health facilities, bearing a multitude of job responsibilities ranging from physical therapy clinics, cancer exercise rehabilitation, and personal training. These experiences have helped hone hands-on and social skills that enable me to work with a broad spectrum of clientele. The various job responsibilities have sharpened both my interpersonal and hands on skills and have expanded my knowledge in orthopedics, and human performance. I was introduced to this field after sustaining numerous injuries throughout a 15 year motocross career. Having been a competitive athlete, and debilitated on numerous occasions, I am well aware of the dedication, commitment and patience it takes to return to play and achieve goals. I believe in training hard and incorporating fundamental principles of strength training and conditioning. I also believe that an essential understanding of physiological adaptations and responses to exercise must be considered in the progression of my clients and athletes, alike.

Professional Accreditations:

Certified Personal Trainer- National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)

Growing up I was always a multi-sport athlete participating in ice hockey, baseball, and
lacrosse. I was fortunate enough to continue playing ice hockey through college where I attended
Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) for two years and was awarded Second Team All-
American my sophomore year. I then went on to continue my education and hockey career at the
University of Maryland Baltimore County where I helped my team reach two national tournaments.
Playing a college I dealt with many injuries that could have hindered my participation in the sport. This
caused me to find my passion for strength training and the rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries. I believe
that in order to live a healthy life style and prevent injuries from occurring you must dedicate your time
to strength training and I enjoy being someone that can help others achieve that goal.
