About the Human Form

The nucleus of The Human Form Team is Stephen and Michelle Ladd. Together they have over thirty-four years of experience in the fields of corrective exercise, functional fitness, athletic conditioning and nutrition and lifestyle coaching. They founded The Human Form to fill what they considered to be a void in the current health and fitness market – a holistic model addressing the triad of health: Physical/Mental/Bio-Chemical.

Stephen Ladd
Corrective Exercise Kinesiologist
Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist
Titleist Performance Institute Certified Golf Fitness Trainer
CHEK Holistic Golf Performance Coach

Stephen Ladd has taken an unorthodox path to becoming a recognized specialist in the field of corrective exercise and fitness. As an undergraduate student, he studied psychology, philosophy, and religion. After graduating summa cum laude from Miami University, receiving BA with honors, he continued his graduate work in Comparative Religion at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.

Although he was known for spending entire weekends in the library, Stephen was not simply an “egghead”. He also had an intense interest in human anatomy and movement. Thus began his study of strength and conditioning and Applied Kinesiology.

Today, Stephen’s many health and fitness certifications include:

• Corrective High-Performance Exercise Kinesiologist Level One (CHEK Institute)
• Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiologist Level Two (CHEK Institute)
  Titleist Performace Institute Certified Golf Fitness Trainer
• Holisitic Golf Performance Coach (CHEK Institute)
• Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA)
• Advanced Strength Coach Theory (Charles Poliquin)
• Rossiter Stretching Coach Level 1
• Resistance Stretching Instructor
  Certified Hypnosis Coach
• Emotional Freedom Techniques Advanced
