Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)

The SFMA is a movement based diagnostic system which systematically finds the cause of pain - not just the source - by logically breaking down dysfunctional movement patterns in a structured, repeatable assessment. These results are then used to design exercise protocols, treatment protocols or referral for medical issues.

Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT)

The Primal Reflex Release Technique is a manual-therapy approach for evaluating and relieving musculoskeletal pain. PRRT is often able to accomplish in just seconds what joint mobilization and manipulation, trigger point therapy, and soft tissue and myofascial release can do over time.

Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT)

MAT® is designed to re-establish the communication pathways between the nervous system and the muscular system in order to restore muscle contractile capabilities.  The main indicator of muscle(s) losing their contractile efficiency is limitations in range of motion (ROM).
