Bio – Background
After receiving her degree from Louisiana State University, Sharon continued her education at Marymount Manhattan College and Laban Bartienieff Institute for Movement in New York City. Ms. Frazier worked for physical and occupational therapists at Mount Sinai Sports Therapy Clinic, Beth Israel Hospital, and internships with the Physio-Sports Center for Physical Therapy in New York City.
She has been an American Council of Exercise certified personal trainer since 1993, working with Equinox Health Clubs, Joan Pagano Total Fitness, Special Olympics Qualifiers, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, New York Chapter.
It was during her experiences in rehabilitation, working with patients who had chronic pain, limited mobility, and neurological limitations, that she recognized the healing effects of RestorativeFusionTM, using different modalities integrated into the therapy often using light weights, bands, balls and balance techniques.
Ms. Frazier added elements of dance to encourage patients to move across a space. The dance movements fused with modified yoga and Pilates also provided stretches and additional gentle movements for the joints.
“Working with creative physical therapists, our success rate was phenomenal, as patients graduated into more intensive therapies with a positive mental attitude and desire to get stronger,” Sharon recalls. “Thus, my concept of RestorativeFusionTM was born.”
RestorativeFusionTMTM further fused the concepts used in physical and occupational therapy, and applied them to fitness for everyone, of every age. “We are proud to prevent injuries,” she says, “and blend your fitness program into a program prescribed by your doctor or therapist.”
Ms. Frazier works by appointment, using RestorativeFusionTM methods in a variety of home, office, and outdoor settings. Sharon Frazier’s extensive dance training includes studies in Brazil, Cuba, Spain, Istanbul, and Thailand, as well as with the Alvin Ailey School and Ballet Hispanico.
She is able to provide her RestorativeFusionTM programs in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.
Ms. Frazier lives in New York City.
