Movement Sciences

Movement Sciences is based on functional training, a big-picture approach to human mobility that uses corrective exercise strategies to improve muscle imbalances and movement efficiency. The goal is to keep clients at peak performance through healing and prevention. They offer long-term solutions by addressing the causes that prevent healthy, functional movement. Their training plan for any client begins with a series of postural, range of motion, and strength assessments to diagnose the client's individual barriers to functional mobility. Based on this movement analysis and the client's goals and health history, Movement Sciences creates an exercise and flexibility program to help the client learn more efficient movement patterns to manage pain, improve athletic performance, decrease risk of injury, and foster long-life health. They are also connected with and work with some of the area’s top health professionals such as doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, nutritionists and acupuncturists.
