WHO WE TREAT
ATHLETES
From CrossFit to tennis to triathlons, although the sport of choice may vary, the frustration and agony of limited mobility, injury, and pain are the same. As athletes ourselves, we understand and are committed to getting you back to your peak performance as soon and as safely as possible. Using cutting-edge therapy, collaboration with local gyms/boxes, and individualized plans, we work towards stronger more resilient bodies.
ADOLESCENT ATHLETES
We put a big focus on injury prevention for our youth athletes. There’s no doubt that the physical demands put on younger athletes today is rigorous. As adolescents go through their athletic development, they need a coach and medical practitioner that understands how to keep them healthy while improving their performance… someone who understands how to reduce the risk of injury and start building resiliency and strength so they can play at their best and recover like a professional athlete.
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
Does this sound like you? You may not necessarily identify as an athlete, but you are active and want to live a long, healthy lifestyle! Whether it’s taking the dogs for their evening walk, keeping up with your kiddos, going to the gym, or getting in a round of golf on the weekends, you deserve to do them pain-free. Stopping the activities you love to do is not an option with us! We are here to help you get back to that active lifestyle you enjoy.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
- Luckily for you, we are a direct pay, “out-of-network” provider. This allows us to do what is best for YOU, not what is best for the insurance company.
- We don’t stop at just decreasing your pain. We help you return to whatever it is you enjoy doing (i.e. getting back into Crossfit, throwing a baseball again, playing golf, or going for a run with your significant other) without limitations.
- All sessions are 1-on-1… No sharing appointment times, no being passed off to an assistant, and no surprise bills.
- BEFORE we take you on as a client, we make certain we’re a good fit for each other & that we can help you – no wasting time & money.
- You graduate from us when you’re ready and feeling 100% – not because your insurance company told us to.
- We customize and develop a long-term plan and strategy for you that will not only get rid of your problem, but give you the best chance for it not to come back.
WHAT TO ASK YOURSELF
- When it comes to getting help for a specific problem, are you willing to settle for generic, cookie-cutter exercise programs that take no consideration of your individual goals?
- Do you care if you’re left alone or paid attention to during your treatment session that you took precious time out of your day for?
- Does it matter to you whether the doctor you see is a specialist or a generalist?
- These are important questions that most people don’t even consider when it comes to getting help for a particular health problem.
At Movement Evolution, we’ve designed our services and programs with one thing in mind… YOU!
- We pride ourselves in paying attention to details and taking an approach that is the perfect blend of orthopedics, sports physical therapy, and holistic medicine. Our mission is to bring you an experience that leaves you feeling cared for like family, not just another patient or client. You see, we don’t operate like traditional health care clinics or high volume exercise studios. We focus on meeting you where you are at, getting to know you as a person, and developing truly customized solutions that will get you more active, healthy, and mobile – all while decreasing your risk of injury in the future and improving your performance in the present!
- We believe – actually we know – that 90% of ALL musculoskeletal problems (aches, pains, and strains) can be solved without prescribing medications, without expensive tests and procedures, and certainly without surgery.
- If you are tired of trying lots of different fitness routines or “treatments” that are generalized and don’t seem to work… tired of wasting time in offices that only care about your date of birth and type of insurance… and if you’re ready for problem-solving strategies that EMPOWER you with long lasting results vs quick-fixes… Then you should consider working with us!
