Movement based medicine creates quick relief and lasting results
We really mean it when we say “Movement Based Medicine.” We are the medicine you have not tried and have always needed. We answer the Why behind your injury or illness. The most common feedback we hear is “I wish I knew this earlier.”
Some of Our Treatments
Physical Therapy and Chiropractic
Our system is well defined and simple. We teach you why you are in pain to begin with then we show you how to change it. We then help that change by treating muscles and adjusting joints.
Naturopathy
Through our simple and proven methods, we can address the root of any disease or illness. Treatments are tailored to the individual and utilize a wide variety of therapies and medicines to stimulate healing.
Treatments for Pets & Animals
Alternative care for animals is emerging as an uncommon but effective approach to healthcare for your furry friends.
Automobile Injuries
Some injuries may be apparent right away, but others may not be immediately obvious until days or weeks after a collision.
Foundation #1
Breathing
Breathing is the most direct way to decrease pain and improve function. It allows multiple systems of the body to return to balance and proper capacity.
- Reduces strain to the neck
- Promotes a natural filter of air to prevent infection
- Massages the muscles of the low back to keep normal tone
- Restores normal motion of the shoulder
- Decompresses the disc of the low back to reduce disc bulges
- Protects the midline from injury while lifting or falling
- Allows large muscle groups to work instead of small ones
Foundation #2
Bracing
Bracing is creating a stable system on which the body can attach movement. More importantly, it is the skill of being able to do this while breathing. Nearly all patients are unable to maintain midline stability while breathing upon initial evaluation.
Foundation #3
Hinging
Hinging creates the cornerstone of all motion. The screening is simple, sit in a chair without bending your back while keeping your feet flat on the ground. A small percentage of people can do this upon initial examination. This simple skill improves nearly all body pain.
- Protects disc tissue to prevent and heal disc herniations
- Removes unnecessary load from the knees, neck, and low back
- Improves global flexibility
