The experience of a Doctor of Physical Therapy,
The knowledge of post-doctoral education in biomechanics,
The wisdom of an Ultra-Marathon Competitor –
Distilled to produce resilient results.
THE PROCESS
Integrative Physical Therapy
Exclusive, one-on-one care and education you deserve –
the entire time.
The Process is Re-shaping Physical Therapy
I stepped out of the conventional health care limitations in order to provide the highest quality experience I can, creating power, quality movement, and sustainable changes.
Give someone a fish and they eat for a day.
But if you teach them how to fish…
The more I was able to help people understand human mechanics and muscle balance, how to perform specific exercises and use specific tools, the more they were able to benefit; transforming their entire experience.
Patients off the street were learning these concepts, making changes for themselves, and retaining the what’s and how’s; breaking out of the healthcare dependency (have a problem, have the expert work on you and give you exercise, repeated visits…).
The more they understood how I did my job, the more they could do for themselves.
More growth and possibility far beyond their time with me.
The tools (biomechanics) and the know-how (clinical decision-making skills) to create their own resilient changes.
We were breaking the dependence on ‘experts’ and the healthcare system.
Teaching (working) within this new framework has created a paradigm shift in access to quality care and experience.
Of course there are situations (significant injury, surgical intervention, or complex presentation) that clearly need the expertise of healthcare practitioners.
Of course we still need physical therapy care performed by physical therapists.
Of course this isn’t replacing high-end physical therapy clinical care.
This is adding to the conversation, expanding healthcare –
Highlighting healthcare over injury-care.
This is recognizing the lack of quality resources for motivated people.
This is filling the gaps conventional health care easily overlooks.
This is addressing the healthcare’s systemic dependency and need for the sick and injured,
And our desire to be free, capable, and healthy.
Cut the red tape.
Stop hoarding over a decade’s worth of training and clinical practice and the wisdom gained from a +15-year career running marathon and ultra-marathon distances.
This is providing options for motivated people that are looking to better care for themselves;
For those people with the desire to learn a better way for themselves.
And this gives me the most fun and excitement I have had with any job, ever:
Teaching those who want to change their lives.
…A bit more on the ‘Nuts and Bolts‘ of your experience with The Process:
While the experience varies to best tailor to each individual, there is an overlying framework that holds it all together.
You will learn how the body generates power and movement.
You will learn how the body creates stability and control.
You will learn about specific energy leaks where power is lost, movement is wasted, stability is compromised, and control is lacking.
You will learn how those concepts are found within you and your movement profile.
You will learn key activities to address the foundational change that best meets your needs at that moment – meaning that what you address on your next appointment is different from and builds off of the changes you created from the previous appointment.
You learn how to incorporate these concepts within your training routine,
And
How to progress or modify based off of what a particular moment needs.
We look at corrective exercise (neuro-motor-programming to make it sound far too fancy),
Muscle tone, tension, or length,
Joint mobility,
Form, technique, and mid-activity modifications (as needed),
And
The clinical decision-making process for how to integrate these concepts and tools into your routine.
We build central stability,
Hip power, and mobility,
Form efficiency and agility.
Packaged in such a way that it is learnable, retainable, and repeatable on your own.
Packaged in such a way to create independence from the healthcare system.
