Movement is medicine. We stand by that.
Movement is one of our best pain relievers and anti-inflammatory modalities when dosed appropriately. Sometimes, we call movement therapeutic exercise, and sometimes, we call it functional exercise. Either way, the magic is when we can use movement to work within our pain-free limits or around a painful area to restore, maintain, and improve physical function and overall health.
During our evaluation, we will work with you to create a tailored movement program that meets your individual needs.
Benefits of Movement:
Pain relief
Increases blood flow, circulation, and lymphatic drainage, allowing for decreased inflammation within your joints and muscles
Improved flexibility and range of motion
Increase strength and muscular endurance
Improve balance and coordination
Accelerate recovery
Reduces fear around a particular activity or movement pattern: If you hurt your back bending over to pick up a towel, you won’t want to do that again. Knowing that, we work with you do decrease your fear around that movement and build strength and confidence in your ability to perform that task without reinjury. Developing resilient tissues and a resilient mindset goes a long way.
Positively impacts mental and emotional well-being
reduces stress and anxiety
improves concentration and mental clarity
increases self-esteem and confidence

How is that possible?
Movement increases the amount of endorphins released by your body. Endorphins can:
Boost your mood
Decrease stress and anxiety
Improve self-esteem
Regulate appetite
Alleviate pain by blocking or reducing the intensity of pain
Decrease inflammation and calm the immune system
Protect against cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
How else can we Release endorphins?
Some activities that can also release endorphins include:
Trigger point dry needling
Manual therapy
modern cupping therapy
The best outcomes and pain relief are achieved when these interventions are combined with movement.
What if it hurts to move in a specific manner?
Great question! We find a way to work around it or within your pain-free limits. Any movement is better than none; complete rest is rarely the answer.
