Your Movement Rx Services

Being deskbound has significant long term health consequences, but the solution isn’t just about a standing workstation. For any employee stuck at a workstation there are specific movement, nutrition, mindset, and joint health considerations to take into account.  In this easy-to-implement 30 day challenge, participants are provided 20 practical and actionable tools and tips to offset the time tied to their workstation – seated or standing.

Many organizations prefer to have classes taught by their own staff.  If you would like your staff to be trained in the Your Movement Rx philosophy, movement principles, and coaching standards we offer a certification program to go along with the Musculoskeletal Health program.

Our expert team leads this seminar focused on helping participants solve and avoid shoulder injuries. Our team lays out the real sources of shoulder pain in your specific population, provides hands-on techniques to solve pain, and provides guidance on the movement principles that will keep shoulders healthy and happy.

Knee pain, while problematic in and of itself, limits the sufferer from moving and is therefore a common precursor to more chronic health conditions. This seminar is focused on helping participants solve and avoid knee pain and injuries.  Our expert team lays out the real sources of knee pain in your specific population, provides hands-on techniques to solve pain, and provides guidance on the movement principles that will keep participants’ knees from being troublesome.

We take 20,000 breaths a day.  More than simply a way to get oxygen, the breath is a unique tool to bridge the gap between the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of healing and longevity. Combining the breath with musculoskeletal techniques helps the body to downregulate, better protect the spine and reduce inflammation.  Our team will provide your personnel with techniques and programming to enable all aspects of healing – mental, emotional, and physical.

Managing the body’s inflammatory response is crucial to your personnel’s health, recovery and longevity. Our approach to longevity is rooted in combining breath, mindfulness, and tissue self-care to manage inflammation from stress and exertion.

When you improve your physical flexibility you improve your mental and emotional flexibility.  Mental, emotional, and physical tension are inter-related. Your employees carry these tensions from home into the workplace, and vice versa.  The easiest – and cheapest – method to relieve these tensions is through physical techniques. In this seminar, our expert team applies our movement, tissue maintenance, and breathing principles to help participants learn to down regulate and improve their ability to return to a calmer, happier parasympathetic state.

We all know that nutrition is an important part of maintaining good health, but how do we support our whole body in order to absorb all the nutrients from our healthy diet? Our team will help participants learn how to identify and correct common digestive and lifetsyle-related obstacles in addition to outlining a healthy, whole foods approach to eating for overall well being.

Nutrition advice abounds, but it can be difficult and time consuming to decide which approach is best. This course will detail some of the popular nutrition strategies and help participants fashion a customized plan to move towards health, body composition, and performance goals.

You want your employees to exercise, right? You may even have a facility onsite or subsidize gym memberships.  A large percentage of those employees will be lifting weights, and we guarantee you at least 90% of them are doing so incorrectly.  Most people do not understand how to stabilize their spine and control their extremities through their ranges of motion.

We have found that by teaching simple principles, participants can eliminate most of the risks attached to how they move.  We have taught thousands of personal trainers, coaches, and healthcare practitioners around the world about proper weightlifting form and movement patterns.  Let us teach your employees directly.  Participants learn their own movement dysfunctions, how to correct them, and how to apply that knowledge to common weightlifting exercises.

Most fitness-related movements are done without any weights. Even though these aren’t loaded, these movements are the most common source of shoulder, knee and foot pain.  When there’s pain, most healthcare providers provide the wrong advice – “Stop doing ______.”  Our team of movement experts and physical therapists will guide your personnel on understanding their joint and tissue limitations in the daily human movements of pushing, pulling, hinging, squatting, and carrying.  Then we’ll teach them to do these well.

Running should be one of the most natural of human movements, yet modern lives create movement dysfunctions that make running harmful. In this seminar our running movement experts help participants self-assess their limitations, learn tools to correct those limitations, and coach proper running form.

For every 10 people on your team pulling and pushing heavy weight, at least 8 are doing it incorrectly because of movement dysfunctions. Because of the sheer volume of weight put on the bar for these lifts, poor movement patterns can have drastic consequences.  We know you’re not going to get personnel to stop squatting and deadlifting, so let’s make sure they learn to do it well.  Our physical therapist lifting experts teach your team to understand their own joint and tissue limitations, how to eliminate those limitations, and perform these movements properly.

If your personnel are interested in improving performance, then they are most likely trying technically demanding lifts. Because of the speed and change in direction of the clean & jerk and the snatch, poor technique can quickly lead to injury.  Our Olympic lifting experts teach your team to understand their own joint and tissue limitations, how to eliminate those limitations, and perform these movements properly.
