Well, the short answer is that restorative movement lives in the space between physical therapy and sports/fitness. We explore movement that is relevant to our daily lives, activity, and health. 

​

Restorative movement is:

• Foundational - the movements we focus on are the fundamental movements on which you can build any skill.

• Sustainable - At any age and stage, this practice is one that grows over time.

• Scalable - no matter your ability, RM is accessible to you.

• Accessible - while we may use equipment in private lessons, the homework is always with no equipment or things that are affordable and easy to find. 

• Practical - we're really interested in the movements we need to be well, the movements we need to accomplish and enjoy life, and how that can fit into the life we already have.

​

With restorative movement, we will borrow from a variety of disciplines, and our intention is to improve our alignment, breath, mobility, and strength. What sets this practice apart from many is our interest not just on what or how, but the WHY. Rather than limiting ourselves to what is 'right' and 'wrong,' we learn what all the options are and why we might choose one over another. Knowledge is power, and resiliency comes from having options!

​

As we build and practice our healthy movement, we're also examining life factors that influence our health and movement, and the the subtle things that can create body blind spots. Influences such as:

• our environment

• personal history

• community

• exercise 

• personal habits

• sports and competition

• aging

• genetics

​

And when we can explore movement while examining these influences, we can create an informed movement practice that supports a movement rich life!
