About The Anatomy of Human Movement

There is a reason 80% of people suffer from low back pain and nearly 33% have a recurrent episode of pain. Healthcare professionals are not addressing the cause of our client's problems.

In physical therapy school, i learned how to treat isolated impairments. For example, i could identify decreased ankle range of motion or poor gluteal strength; yet, i struggled to switch from treating impairments to maximizing function. While this approach helped people have less pain, it did not address their problem: poor movement patterns. 

The movement corner deconstructs the human movement experience! Through my experiences as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), training through the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), and coursework in the OPTIM Manual Therapy Fellowship, i am now helping people have less pain faster than ever!

WHY FOCUS ON MOVEMENT?  

The brain is detailed map of all of our movements patterns. If we feed the brain with strong, dynamic postures, our body can efficiently complete complex movements. However, in the presence of bad posture and injury, the detailed map becomes blurry and disorganized.  The Movement Corner analyzes dysfunctional movements to help people optimize their movement experience!  

Our mission IS TO FACILITATE THE GROWTH, DEVELOP, AND UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE HUMAN BODY MOVES.
