And much like high blood pressure is a warning light for change - how you move, and the standard criteria measured for strength, flexibility, and mobility are no different. There are many movement faults that contribute to the pathology of the musculoskeletal system, and by addressing the ROOT movement cause and not chasing symptoms we can prevent, address, and restore optimal function to the human body without medications, surgery, or injections. We are your primary care doctors to help those looking to monitor, maintain, improve, and restore their musculoskeletal system so you can live a life free from pain and limitations.
