You’ll find your therapy sessions are simple and relatively easy. They will present a gentle challenge but never cause pain or serious discomfort.

We believe that both chronic and acute pain is due to movement inefficiencies in the body as it loses its designed postural alignment, mobility and healthy movement habit patterns. The human body is designed to move! However, with most of society becoming more and more sedentary, the body develops musculoskeletal dysfunctions and compensations. When those are present, pain and injury set in or are lurking right around the corner. The Movement Therapy Method restores the body back to its natural designed optimal state, alleviating pain and returning you back to an active, pain-free lifestyle.

Movement Therapy uses a combination of hands-on therapy and coaching you through a series of gentle exercises and stretches to return musculoskeletal balance and symmetry to your body, reinstate mobility and reinforce good patterns. It’s no secret that muscles move bones. If your body has lost its designed posture, it’s because muscles have moved your bones into a new, dysfunctional position. Pain is the body’s way of alerting you to the fact that your body isn’t aligned—and therefore isn’t moving—properly. Through Movement Therapy, your muscles will be reeducated and reminded how they need to function in order to maintain proper alignment to achieve permanent lasting results.

Movement Therapy is an investment in terms of both time and finances. Your Movement Optimization Plan will take 30 minutes to two hours to complete. Although not everyone needs two hours, those who do are in so much pain they will do their micro plan daily, regardless of how long it takes. On the financial side of things, we offer different therapy packages and experiences: You can work face to face with a therapist either in person or via digital therapy. We also offer online therapy. Talk with your therapist to determine which option suits you best and get an idea of how many visits you may need.

All of our clients respond differently and on different timelines. However, the vast majority feel different after their first visit. The body has an amazing ability to heal itself; you just have to give it a chance. Remember, you most likely didn’t get into your current position overnight, and you won’t get out of it overnight. Movement Therapy is a process, but one with a remarkable success rate since its inception.

We ask that you do your exercises, what we call your “micro plan,” daily, although some clients will need to do their micro's more than once per day. The Therapy is designed to systematically and methodically chip away at your inability, dysfunctions and compensations. We have to remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day! By doing your micro daily, you are giving your body the positive stimuli that it needs, unlock mobility, restoring proper alignment, and eliminating pain!

Yes, you need to do your full micro plan at least once per day, in the given order. One exercise sets up the next, so sequencing is important. Outside of that time, you can do any exercises that you feel are beneficial for your body.

Soreness is normal and can be a good thing. We call this “muscle awakening”, and it should diminish the more times you do your micro as your muscles adapt and adjust to the new work. Keep in mind that soreness is different from pain. If you are experiencing true pain, let your therapist know so any necessary adjustments can be made.

Being non-medical, The Therapy is not directly covered by insurance. However, many of our clients have success getting reimbursed from their insurance provider for at least a portion of what they pay. Movement Studio does not file anything directly with your insurance provider, but we will do whatever we can—provide a letter of explanation, posture photos, etc.—to help you with the reimbursement process. Most of our clientele are able to use their health savings account or flexible spending account to pay for Movement therapy.

At the Movement Studio, we pride ourselves on fostering an education-based therapy experience. We will work with you hands on as well as walk with you, step-by-step, through each of your visits. Most of our clients need somewhere between 6 and 12 visits to see results. Keep in mind that we are working to eliminate structural dysfunctions that have been decades in the making.

Yes, Movement Therapy can be used in conjunction with many different healing modalities. That being said, our goal is to return control of your health back to your hands so that ultimately you aren’t dependent on another person or machine to achieve an optimal state of health. Movement Therapy educational approach teaches you on what you need to do to get faster results and know how to prevent it from ever coming back again.

Yes. Movement Therapy requires a hands on therapist combined with a specific tailored set of exercises designed to eliminate your movement inefficiencies that are causing your pain. The majority of yoga and Pilates classes are group-based where everyone in the class is asked to do the same exercises, poses, or moves. Movement Therapy fosters a client-driven experience where you and your therapist work together to develop your exercise micro plan, taking only what your body is able to functionally give on that day.

While in some cases equipment may be required, the vast majority of our exercises can be performed with items you have lying around your house.
