Strategic Health and Performance is an expert consultancy service specialising in identifying and eliminating physiological and physical limitations to function and performance.

I work with medical and health professionals, technical and performance coaches, as well as individuals to improve health, function, and performance in all populations from those with medical conditions (e.g., metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity, or respiratory conditions) to the elite and professional athlete. Let me help you achieve better health, function and performance effectively and efficiently.

Daniel Crumback

is Strategic Health and Performance

I am an internationally respected leader and expert in physiological testing, data analysis and exercise and nutrition programming with over 30 years of experience working with medical, general, and athletic populations. I am a Clinical Exercise Physiologist, High Performance Specialist, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Chartered Activity and Exercise Practictioner, Physiotherapist, Sport Physiotherapist and Associate Fellow in Higher Education. My extensive and diverse background provides me with a unique perspective on testing and training.

After a highly successful 29-year career in the Canadian Armed Forces, I completed two years as the Director of Rehabilitation and Performance for Beijing Yanding where I taught exercise physiology, physiotherapy and performance coaching throughout China as well as working with Provincial, National, and Olympic athletes in a variety of sports. I was the Chief Technical Officer for China's External Clinic at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

Upon my return from China, I was the Head of Science and Education for PNOĒ - a metabolic analysis company located in Athens, Greece responsible for developing educational programming as well as working with clients to improve their testing, analysis and program design based upon metabolic testing results. Daniel helped develop algorithms to analyse metabolic data, exercise programming for cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic limitations and created the Metabolic Analysis Certificate Program to educate medical, healthcare and trainers on metabolic testing and program design.

I then moved to England and completed two years at the University of Chichester as the Sport and Wellbeing Coordinator and lecturing in Physiotherapy and Clinical Exercise Physiology.

In August 2023, I moved to Cumbria and now provide physiotherapy and physiology services in the Penrith area in concert with Absolute Physiotherapy. I continue to provide internationally consultancy services to many physiology companies around the world.

Expert Consultant and Lecturer

I am a recognised leader in physiological testing and training program design consulting with multiple leading edge technology companies including KORR, Moxy, NNOXX, Isocapnic and TymeWear.

I am an expert in identifying and eliminating cardioivascular, respiratory and metabolic limitations by integrating my knowledge in metabolic analysis, spirometry and movement, and then using the latest technology to minimise limitations through the use accurate zoning, exercise and nutrition programming, and respiratory training using devices such as the BreathWayBetter respiratory training device - the best method to minimize or eliminate respiratory limitations to function and performance. I provide the most comprehensive analysis of your health, function and performance and then help you minimise or eliminate these limitations to achieve your goals.

Creator of the First Online Physiological Testing, Analysis and Training Certification Program.

The Physiological Testing, Analysis and Training Certification Program is a detailed program covering exercise physiology, physiological testing including the use of spirometry, metabolic testing (RMR and VO2max) and Near Infrared Spirometry (NIRS) on multiple modalities (e.g., running, cycling and rowing), data analysis, limitation identification, zoning, and exercise and nutrition prescription as well as advanced concepts in testing and training (e.g., respiratory training). You are taught how to apply these concepts to medical, general and athletic populations. It provides medical, allied health and fitness professionals with the concise and leading-edge knowledge needed to maximise their use of physiological testing to identify physiological limitations and prescribe the best programming for their customers allowing them to achieve their goals effectively and efficiently. It is recognised by NASM, AFAA and ACSM for continuing education credits. I have taught over 1,000 professionals from basic fitness trainers to MSc. in Exercise Physiology. This program will reopen for registration in May 2024.

Expert in Musculoskeletal Injury Prediction and Prevention.

I completed his Masters in Rehabilitation Science at University of Alberta. My thesis was “The Use of Movement Based Tests to Predict Low Back Injury in Military Population” (awaiting publication). Based upon my research, I co-authored a published and cited paper on predicting upper quadrant musculoskeletal non-contact injuries in uninjured military population. A third research paper on predicting lower quadrant injury is awaiting review for publication. I believe that by being able to identify risk of future injury by region - upper (neck, upper thoracic spine, shoulder and arm), spinal (thoracolumbar, pelvis, hip and knee) or lower (knee, ankle and foot), we can prescribe focused preventative exercise programming that may be able to decrease future non-contact musculoskeletal injuries and re-injury rates in currently injured populations. I created the Rehab for Performance (R4P) program designed to decrease recidivism rates for musculoskeletal injuries currently used by the Canadian Armed Forces.
