MOVEMENT & MANUAL THERAPY

Muscles create a framework of stability for the skeletal system. Together they hold us up in a field of gravity. In order to be strong and healthy, muscles need to work through their full range of motion. ALIGN ~ Integrative Spinal Care personalizes a combination of movements and manual therapy to 'speak' to your muscles. The integration of these two modalities (passive & active) is what reprograms your muscles to function more effectively. This is an essential component for pain reduction and restoration.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Before getting into a regular appointment schedule, a comprehensive assessment is conducted to see where your compensations lie. This determines which parts of your body are out of balance and how they interrelate.
