Movement for Longevity. Move Well into your future.
530-883-0339
Did you know that being able to perform basic functional movements, such as getting up out of a chair, or up from the floor unassisted, is a known marker for a longer life?
Functional Movement Therapy gives you the tools to bring back the mobility and stability needed to support your lifestyle and your future.
Is Movement in Your Future?
Movement drives health, but not all movement is created equal. Inefficient movement can put negative stress on the body. For some, that stress can lead to pain, a lack of mobility and stability, and a diminished desire to exercise.
Whether it's improving core function or boosting balance, functional movement therapy is a powerful tool to improve movement efficiency and stay pain and injury free.
Working Together
With this therapeutic care, we’ll work on the steps below so you can move WELL in to your future.
1. Mobility Screening & Manual Assessment
I’ll start by having you perform a set of easy to do movement patterns that will identify the quality of proper movement ability (mobility, stability, motor control, balance, etc.). This will indicate where a lack of mobility may be causing instability and/or pain, or vice versa.
Along with the movement screen I’ll get a detailed health history and activity background so we can proceed with a safe and effective program.
2. Mobility & Manual Therapy
Personalized programming that addresses the quality of functional movement patterns identified in your initial screening. Each program is tailored to you and built on the concept of “functional training” and “manual therapy” which provides the greatest protection from injury during movement. We’ll address mobility and movement in a gentle and natural way in order to maximize your daily physical capabilities.
My goal is to help you get back to baseline in movement health to get you out of pain and stay out of pain
3. Movement Homework
Nobody likes homework, I know! However, to elicit a lasting change in your kinetic chain and functional movement system, easy to do movements that only take a few minutes a day will be assigned.
I’ll provide movements, stretching and exercises that you’ll do on your own. This is a vital part of the program in order to effectively retrain your neuromuscular system with repetition and consistency.
Not sure about doing the homework portion alone? No problem. I offer a virtual training program where I’ll hop on a video call to assist you!

Imagine Your Best Self
Moving functionally well into our golden years means more than being able to keep up with the grandkids, though that is certainly the best payoff. The lower back pain, neck kinks, hip stiffness, foot discomfort and the general aches and pains that keep people from being able to move effortlessly are all physically and emotionally draining.
Moving well is feeling well enough to keep doing the things you love the most, like walking the dog, enjoying the outdoors on a hike, dancing with a loved one, or playing games.
Moving well also helps us continue to do the things we take for granted, like climbing stairs or just simply caring for ourselves unassisted.
