SERVICES
No matter what service you need, the underlying concepts of every program will be the same:
1. Increase Stability
2. Increase Mobility
3. Increase Range of Functional Movement
4. Decrease Inflammation
5. Decrease Risk of Injury
6. Decrease Pain
Because each program is individually designed around your specific health needs, we may use components of multiple programs in your plan. Everything is about you and allowing you to take charge of your own health. No matter the program, the goal is always the same: optimizing your lifestyle. In the end you will be a smooth moving, better living you. If you don't see exactly what you need, reach out to me and we can create what ever suits your goals. If you're an athlete trying to get to the next level or just want to play with your kids or walk up the stairs, I can help. Every program is designed by a physician, and every step of your progress will be supervised by a medical doctor.
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
Functional movements are movement patterns we use every day while interacting with our world. The ability to squat, reach, push, pull, lunge, twist, and bend is vital to a long and healthy life free from pain and injury. Your functional movement program will be built according to how well you can accomplish these movement patterns. As your movements improve, so will your quality of life. My focus will always be on pushing you forward while enhancing your stability, mobility and strength.
INJURY PREVENTION
Injuries can happen on the playing field or at home and are often the consequence of muscle imbalances. By evaluating how you run, how you jump, how you throw or how you walk I can identify deficient movement patterns that may increase your risk of injury. I am not only interested in keeping athletes in the game, but I am also in fall prevention in older individuals. Your injury prevention program will find your weakness and turn it into strength allowing you to live an active pain and injury free life.
