Integrative Movement Strategies, LLC is a business entity designed by a physical therapist of nearly 28 years and certified personal trainer to provide movement services to humans.

Our brain is our primary organ which allows us to survive.  It receives constant information and signals from all of our many systems and processes this information to help us navigate, respond/react and live.  The information received is from our skin, joints, eyes, ears, nose etc.  Our brain benefits from clear and accurate signals coming in.   Information is processed and the brain creates an output, or movement/response.  The better our senses are to receive this information, the more efficient we move.  We compensate less.  We feel less threat.

Consider walking in a dark room you are unfamiliar with.  You will only move as fast as you safely can.  Your brain puts the “brakes on” in order to protect you.  You take short, choppy steps.   If the lights are on and you can see very clearly, you will move with greater ease and speed.

Integrative Movement Strategies will provide specialized training/instruction using exercises that promote improved vision (eye movements – we have 6 special eye muscles that move our eyes that are controlled by the brain), the ability to localize sounds, touch, proper breathing,  as well as joint & body awareness,  that will in turn, improve our bodies ability to move and feel much better,  easier and more efficiently.

Therefore: Improve the way your brain works by enhancing/improving the clarity of information coming into your brain -> you move better, feel better & live better.

This “brain- based” approach and patient/client education has proven to be much faster and effective than the traditional “physical therapy” approach and I wish to help many more clients without as much discomfort, effort and time compared to conventional methods.  I have found by improving brain and nervous system function, I can create a much better, longer lasting, positive change.  Brain rehabilitation is not just for stroke or brain injured people. It promotes optimal human performance meaning better movement and a healthier life.
