Philosophy and Approach

At the Movement Institute, our mission is to help bodies heal and maintain an active lifestyle at any age. Our approach focuses on enhancing neurological stability and ensuring healthy connective tissue, also known as fascia, to keep our bodies vibrant.

The Need for Movement Institute

Joint pain, injury, stiffness, and inflexibility affect an estimated 30 million Americans of all ages, from professional athletes to those who spend extensive time in front of screens. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 4 adults has arthritis and reports severe joint pain, with 1 in 10 adults limiting activities due to this pain. Our bodies have built-in biological intelligence designed to protect and support us instinctively. Understanding inflammation and how it aids in repair is crucial to unlocking this potential.

Our Unique Philosophy

At the Movement Institute, we teach bodies to understand the messages from nerves to move out of pain instead of blocking these messages, which can lead to other major adverse events in the body. When we override these natural signals, we compensate in our movements and in other body systems. This ‘natural wiring’ is embedded into our DNA, bones, muscles, organs, tissues, and viscera.

Comprehensive and Holistic Treatment

Our holistic approach offers more than just ordinary treatment. We integrate various therapies and practices to promote health and wellness, including:

  • Massage Therapy
