Injury Rehabilitation, Neural Re-education, Mobility Restoration

Simply prescribing a particular exercise for a specific problem is only sometimes effective. As a functional movement specialist, I focus on specific corrective movement protocols that significantly improve client outcomes. By understanding the necessary parameters for effective movement application, I can provide tailored solutions to correct dysfunctions in the body's circuitry and 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 reset circuitry problems and improve movement patterns. As a result, my clients experienced increased mobility, improved stability, and reduced pain.

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

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

Therapeutic 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 assisting the brain to feel safe through improved use of the brain's visual, vestibular, and motor control systems to help reduce chronic pain.

- Restorative movement sessions are used as a movement-centric corrective strategy so clients can enjoy a pain-free life regardless of age or background.

Restorative movement sequences are tailored to meet clients' specific needs and requirements, 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, therapeutic movement sessions provide a powerful means of enhancing functional fitness and well-being.
