Injury Rehabilitation, Neural Re-education, Mobility Restoration

Simply prescribing a certain exercise for a specific problem isn't always effective. As a functional movement specialist, I focus on specific corrective movement protocols that greatly improve client outcomes. By understanding the necessary parameters for effective movement application, I'm able to provide tailored solutions to correct dysfunctions in the body's circuitry and therefore movement.

I use specific corrective movement protocols that involve prescribing first eye and then body movement drills that stimulate the brain to coordinate and control movement in a new and improved way. This approach can help to reset problems in the circuitry and improve movement patterns. As a result, my client's experience increased mobility, improved stability, and reduced pain.

Once we've stimulated your body to resolve a movement pattern, I can then look at novel methods of long-term protocols based on specific movement skills. This approach can help to improve their overall physical fitness and prevent future injuries.

By using specific corrective movement protocols, I'm able to provide clients with a customized and effective approach to their wellness goals. They see noticeable improvements in their physical abilities, which can help build trust in their body.  

Restorative movement is a series of applied movement neurology sessions that can significantly impact performance outcomes.

Each session is designed to reduce pain and will improve:

- Balance and Coordination

- Body awareness and sensitivity

- Increased range of motion

- Will identify and activate underdeveloped muscles

- Enhance flexibility

- The sessions will lead to better posture and alignment to reduce the risk of injury or re-injury

- The sessions also help minimize stress by helping the brain feel safe through improved use of visual, vestibular, and motor control systems of the brain to help reduce chronic pain

- Restorative movement sessions are used as a movement-centric corrective strategy so clients are able to enjoy a pain-free life no matter their age or background.

Restorative movement sequences are tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of clients, making them a highly customizable and effective tool for overall physical health. They can be used to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury in athletes or as a rehabilitation strategy for individuals with musculoskeletal injuries or chronic pain.

Overall, restorative movement sessions provide a powerful means of enhancing functional fitness and well-being.
