Our complete, holistic approach:
Promoting recovery and performance by addressing the true problem
Functional Movement & Wellness takes your health personally.
In fact, clients often comment how we are more concerned with their health and movement issues than they are.
As a result, we take a structured, science-backed approach to ensure our clients achieve their best physical health. Our process is designed to diagnose movement dysfunction, release restrictions, and rebuild your body’s mobility and strength. Read on to see exactly what our approach entails.
Gaining a complete understanding of you:
Selective Functional Movement Assessment
Before we even think of offering a solution, we first understand the source of your pain, stiffness, or lack of movement.
By using Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to analyze your body’s movement patterns, we’ll be able to go beyond addressing just symptoms. Rather, we let your body reveal and diagnosis what’s needed to truly address the cause of your issues.
What is Selective Functional Movement Assessment?
SFMA is a systematic diagnosis that gives us an in-depth understanding of how your body is functioning, what issues exist, and why they’re there.
By analyzing specific movement patterns, SFMA lets your own body reveal what it has experienced and what problems it’s facing.
From there, our certified practitioners incorporate principles that promote neurological control as well as musculoskeletal and connective tissue health.
Additionally, SFMA helps us understand how different parts of your body work together. Rather than isolating individual muscles or joints, we assess your entire movement system to identify restrictions, weaknesses, or compensations that contribute to pain and dysfunction.
How Selective Functional Movement Assessment benefits you:
- Pinpoints the root cause of problems – Instead of just treating where it hurts, we find exactly what part of the body is experiencing issues or pain and what needs to be done to correct the problem.
- Personalizes your treatment plan – Your assessment results help us create a custom-tailored solution for your specific needs that delivers real, lasting relief from pain and movement restrictions.
- Reduces your risk of re-injury – By eliminating the source of faulty movement patterns, we help prevent pain or injuries from occurring or resurfacing.
A lasting solution to your movement issues:
Active Release Technique
If you’re suffering from joint pain, tight muscles, or limitations in your range of movement, then Active Release Technique (ART) is the solution you’ve been waiting for.
Active Release Technique is a targeted therapy designed to break up adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments, restoring mobility and eliminating the source of pain.
What is Active Release Technique?
ART involves precise manual therapy techniques where we apply pressure while guiding you through specific movements. This combination of movement and tension breaks up scar tissue, releases trapped nerves, and restores natural motion to affected areas.
How Active Release Technique benefits you
Pain Relief that’s immediate and lasting. Functional Movement & Wellness finds immense satisfaction from helping client after client enjoy significant relief from pain and stiffness, often after just one session.
And because ART addresses the underlying issue that’s causing problems, clients are often amazed to feel pain-free after months or even years of discomfort.
Improved range of motion
Active Release Technique eliminates restrictions that hamper movement, allowing your body to move freely again. This lets your body’s various components work together as they should, helping you feel and perform your best.
Faster recovery
By restoring blood flow and reducing inflammation, ART accelerates healing from injuries.
As a result, athletes often incorporate ART into their regular athletic regimen to encourage healing and recovery.
Enhanced athletic performance
When your muscles, tendons, and ligaments move without restriction, you’re able to move freer and perform at a higher level. This lets athletes across a wide variety of sports maximize their performance and gain an edge on their competition.
Maximizing what you’re capable of:
Functional Range Systems
If you’re ready to improve your body’s mobility, strength, and joint health, then Functional Range Systems (FRS) is for you.
We have successfully utilized this advanced training system to help countless athletes improve joint health, mobility, and overall movement efficiency.
What is Functional Range Systems (FRS)?
FRS combines methods from sports science, rehabilitation, and biomechanics like Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) and Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs) to strengthen joints, increase flexibility, and build resilience against injuries.
Unlike traditional stretching, FRS focuses on active mobility and joint control to expand your body’s entire movement potential.
How Functional Range Systems benefits you:
Increases joint strength and longevity
As your joints become stronger and more resilient, you’re able to greatly reduce the risk of injuries.
Expands your mobility
Functional Range Systems goes beyond just being flexible.
Instead, you’ll improve movement range, flexibility, and strength, allowing you to gain usable mobility under control.
Optimizes athletic performance
When you improve your body’s movement efficiency, you’ll be able to perform at a higher level. FRS lets your body function as it should by removing isolated weaknesses that might be holding you back.
Supports injury prevention
Injuries often occur when muscles or joints fail to stand up to the force exerted against them during a specific movement or activity. But thanks to FRS promoting stronger joints and better mobility, you’ll experience fewer injuries.
