- Neck and shoulder pain from to prolonged desk work
- Tension headaches and migraines caused by muscular tension, stress, or long periods of looking at computer screens
Our techniques focus on eliminating both the source and symptoms of the pain. This has been proven time and again to help executives and business professionals feel refreshed, improve posture, and maintain their edge in the workplace.

Musculoskeletal issues:
Finding lasting relief
Musculoskeletal pain can physically prevent you from moving as you should while also causing frequent pain. However, traditional methods often fall short of treating the specific parts of the body affected by these issues.
That’s why we’re proud to offer ART and other treatments that have been proven to provide lasting relief for those suffering from these conditions.
Treatable conditions include:
Herniated discs and sciatica
Reduce nerve compression and finally experience long-term pain relief.
Chronic back pain
Let us fully address the muscle imbalances to help you feel and move better while enjoying improved posture and range of movement.
Frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
We can restore function and reduce stiffness to help you gain back strength and range while relieving pain.
Hip and knee pain
We’re ready to help improve your hip and knee mobility and support your joint health with our technique.
By targeting soft tissue restrictions and restoring proper biomechanics, our ART treatments offer an effective alternative to surgery and long-term medication use.
Connective tissue damage:
Strengthening and mending
The tendons, ligaments, fascia, and other tissues play a critical role in your body’s movement and stability. However, when these tissues become tight, inflamed, or scarred, it can lead to severe pain, instability, and limited function.
That’s why we feel honored to see the results ART and other techniques deliver by correcting this damage to help people move and feel better.
Our treatments are a proven solution for:
- Tendon injuries, including achilles tendonitis and patellar tendonitis
- Ligament pain and dysfunction from sprains or post-injury adhesions
- Fascial restrictions that limit movement and flexibility
- Scar tissue buildup following surgery or due to injury or trauma
By using ART and other techniques to break down adhesions and increase blood flow, Functional Movement & Wellness is ready to restore strength and resilience to your connective tissues, ensuring long-term mobility, health, and function.
Soft tissue damage:
A natural approach to healing
You may not realize the severity of an injury when it first occurs. But that may change over time as you endure ongoing effects such as chronic pain and stiffness.
These may be due to ongoing muscle strains, knots or trigger points, and adhesions that have still not been addressed.
Functional Movement & Wellness is ready to use ART and other proven techniques to effectively treat these injuries, which include:
- Trigger points and muscle knots that limit mobility and cause discomfort
- Repetitive strain injuries such as shin splints or IT band syndrome
- Post-surgical adhesions that restrict movement and slow healing
- Myofascial pain syndrome and chronic muscle tightness
By addressing these issues at their source, our certified practitioners will use ART and other treatments to promote natural healing for your body, restore proper movement patterns, and enhance your overall quality of life.
