About Recovery Through Movement LLC
How We Can Help You
We offer a variety of services including recovery from orthopedic and neurological injuries and surgeries, exercise prescription and sport-specific training, management and recovery from chronic orthopedic and neurological conditions, pain neuroscience education, as well as body awareness-based Awareness Through Movement® (ATM®) lessons. See schedule below.
All individual clients receive a thorough evaluation of the whole body, not just the particular area of concern that may have brought you to us. The work is always adjusted to the preferences of the client, but most sessions will include manual therapy to address pain and any muscle, joint, visceral (organ) or neuromuscular restrictions or limitations found. The manual work emphasizes relaxation and cooperation with specificity.

Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide an environment for people to learn more about themselves and how their bodies move and work so that they can be dynamically prepared to pursue their life's loves and passions.
We believe that we all have the capacity to learn, grow and develop throughout our lifetime and that movement is essential to that process.
We believe in a holistic approach to working with an individual's neuromuscular system to enhance their movement and comfort.
