Optimal Core Alignment is the state of human anatomy in which there is least effort and most efficiency because structures are aligned the way they are designed to be. When bones are aligned, they glide over each other following natural smooth curves and surfaces, without friction. This alignment allows cartilage to optimally lubricate the joint.

This groundbreaking article by two French anatomists at University of Paris is the foundation to our treatment approach. It underlines how powerfully your foot alignment and active movement help your inherent function.

Painful ageing, dysfunction and breakdown are NOT inevitable parts of life. When there is loss of function (which can come on slowly or quickly as in injury) and it lingers, premature ageing and chronic conditions result.

When the ambulatory patient becomes immobile, life as it was previously known changes dramatically. If a client cannot adequately and with least pain, support themselves on their feet, they cannot hope to move and exercise their lower extremities and bodies in a meaningful way.

“Reduce inflammation to treat the root of many issues.
If your gut isn’t working right it can cause so many other issues.”
