Move How U Want
Shandril Mintenko | Mobility Specialist
Meet Shandril
I have always loved playing sports and staying active. I played volleyball, soccer, competitive cheerleading and any recreational sport I could!
Due to these competitive sports and having a “no pain, no gain” mentality, I was always pushing through my injuries and my body suffered the consequences when I fractured my L4 vertebrae in 2016.
This was when I was introduced to Functional Range Conditioning (FRC). I recovered from my injuries by using FRC under the guidance of my massage therapist. I saw such success that I obtained Functional Range Conditioning, Functional Range Assessment, and Kinstretch certifications so that I could help others with similar conditions.
Previous to this training, I earned a Fitness & Health Promotions Diploma at St.Lawrence College and completed 2 years of Massage Therapy at Algonquin College. Throughout my training I worked as a physiotherapist assistant, it was clear to me that I had a desire to help others learn how to improve their joint health and build overall strength.
This is when MoveHowUWant was born! Now I love sharing knowledge and empowering others with tools that improve their mental and physical wellbeing.
I currently also work as the general manager at in indoor skatepark called The Yard, Ottawa. I run mobility classes and coach skateboarding to people of all ages at The Yard.
Come and join me! Check out my free follow-along spine mobility video on my website to start moving better today. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!
Move better. Feel better. MoveHowUWant.

What are CARs?
Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs) *derived from Functional Range Conditioning* are specific movement patterns, designed to move your joints through their outer limits of motion.

WHY I RECOMMEND CARs TO ALL MY CLIENTS
- Ensure each joint has passed through its entire range of motion, maintaining the ranges of motion you currently have access to.
- Take control of your own training needs: you can perform a self-assessment of all your moveable joints using CARs. Use the findings from your CARs routine to guide your training goals / intensities that day.
- Improve the quality of the tissues in and around your joints, if done consistently.
- Improve awareness & control of your joints, if done consistently.
