NEED TO SOLVE MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH ISSUES IN YOUR ORGANIZATION?
We help optimize your investment in your people by transforming them into healthy, pain-free and engaged teammates.
Let Us Educate, Inspire, and Improve the Musculoskeletal
Health of Your Team For You
Eliminate Joint Pain in Team Members
Musculoskeletal (MSK) health issues like back, knee, and shoulder pain are endemic to the workplace and are the precursors to chronic and expensive health issues in your employee base. We quite literally wrote the program on how to solve these MSK issues.
Reduce Stress & Associated Inflammation
Integrating movement and mindset principles is crucial in reducing stress and its associated inflammation. This inflammation is a key inhibitor to emotional and physical resiliency. One of our co-founders published a related and inspiring memoir on resiliency.
Reduce the Drag of Chronic Health Issues
Chronic health issues erode morale, productivity, and profitability. The combo of being sedentary + digitally connected is reducing your ROI in people – the most important asset of your organization. We leverage what we have learned in our physical therapy clinics to reverse the effects of this lifestyle on your people.

Provide Your Employees Access to Our
Corporate Musculoskeletal Health Platform & Expert Team
and Significantly Improve the Health Markers
Most Directly Tied to Overall Productive Health:
Pain, Emotional Energy, and MSK Function
Provide your employees (and their families) a choice of fun and effective MSK solutions to optimize their health, happiness, and productivity this year.
From simple do-it-yourself guides to 30 day challenges to in-depth year-long programs, the Movement Rx MSK Wellness platform has it all.
Office Settings
Keeping Healthy at the Desk
The conversation needs to go far beyond simple ergonomics. Nutrition, stress management, core engagement, and postural alignment are critical to the longevity and productivity of your team members. Simply finding the right static sitting or standing position is detrimental to productivity and performance.
Quality Movement Patterns
80% of your workforce will experience low back pain. To avoid this we must re-pattern basic movements that nearly every adult does poorly. These poor patterns compound like interest on a loan, leading to pain or other dysfunction. This in turn leads to more sitting and less moving, opening employees up to more chronic co-morbidities. Teaching employees to improve their movement patterns breaks this cycle.
Mindset
Emails, meetings, and deadlines are at the forefront of every team member’s mind. They all equate to one thing – STRESS. Being in such a depleted emotional energy state can be a trigger for disease, inflammation, and mental illness. Amazingly, this can be managed in conjunction with a movement program.
Mobility & Stability
The twin pillars of tissue and joint health are mobility and stability. We all have our own dysfunctional combinations of the two in each major joint. Empowering employees with the tools to address these dysfunctions is critical to reducing MSK injury and long-term chronic health conditions.
Tactical and Field Settings
Prehab & Rehab
Pre-emptive work on movement patterning, motor control, mobility and stability is key to keeping tactical, field, and line workers healthy and out of the Workers’ Compensation cycle. These areas are also crucial in getting light duty and return to work participants back to optimal function, not just baseline function.
Function before Strength
Mastering functional movement patterns is critical to reducing injury rates and maintaining a healthy workforce. Simply going to the gym and adding strength to dysfunctional movement patterns is a recipe for long term chronic injury and eventual disability. Research shows that mastering function before adding strength and intensity reduces the number of Worker’s Comp claims and the severity of those claims.
Downregulation
The nervous system operates in two capacities: Fight or Flight and Rest and Digest. The human body needs balance to ensure physical and mental health. Possessing the tools to eliminate stress, down-regulate the nervous system, and allow the body to recover will add productivity and longevity to your workforce.
Movement, Rehab, and Strength Expertise
Prehab is better than rehab. Self-care is better than healthcare. Guidance from world class physical therapists and strength coaches allows your teams to understand proper progressions and regressions so they can optimally train and perform without injury.
How It Works
1) Determine the health challenges most common in your organization.
- For instance, at Qualcomm the primary health concerns are back pain, diabetes, and chronic conditions.
- At Petco, they’re pregnancy, diabetes, and low back pain; at Cigna they’re musculoskeletal issues, cancer, and cardiovascular conditions; at GreatCall they’re obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, back pain, and stress.
- For the Navy SEALs they’re shoulder and low back injuries during training, as well as stress. For most fire departments, they’re cancer, mental health, and back pain.
2) Determine what your KPIs are for a program.
For example, these might include:
- Champions: Senior level support and participation;

What Makes Our Musculoskeletal Health Platform Different
We have led companies and tactical units ourselves.
Our team has a unique and very relevant combination of backgrounds that help us excel at organizational well-being.
- One founder has 15+ years as a COO, CFO, and Managing Director. He understands the business dynamics at play with our clients.
- Another is a nationally recognized expert in physical therapy for optimizing human performance. She also led Marine platoons in combat zones during the Iraq war and is a published author and international speaker.
- Our Education & Account Management team are all Doctors of Physical Therapy or Movement Experts. Their insights are as valuable to employee health as the programs and platform they are advising you on.
The programs and challenges on our platform work incredibly well across ALL personnel types.
So well that we had to re-check the data the first few times. Just 8 weeks on one of the programs reduces the percentage of high risk employees by 7.5x. That’s not a typo – it’s 7.5x, not 7.5%. See our results HERE.
When employees are at risk, they usually know it. When they’re no longer at risk, they FEEL the difference. They’re happier and more productive. This ‘thrive’ mindset then feeds your company culture.
We are Marketeers
Let’s face it, this is the digital age. Engaging content is expected, and your employees’ expectations of well-being programs are no different.
Besides being health and program experts, we are digital marketers. We help you get captivating messages to your employees at the right time to drive program engagement.
You Can Be Hands-Off or a Micro-Manager
We train your Wellness Champions to manage all aspects of our Platform – administrative, assessments, program choice, etc. Yet the Platform is flexible enough to allow for any kind of deployment.
From laissez-faire Self-Service for all employees, to Administrator Managed Cohorts, to Fully Managed by our team.
There are 500+ hours of progressive education and programming available to your employees, with more being created every month. That means you can count on us to delivery ongoing value to your employees regardless of how you choose to manage the Platform.

A Message From Our CEO
What characteristics of your workforce’s health cause you concern or stress? Mental health? Low back pain? Obesity or diabetes? High blood pressure and stress?
Well if you said anything other than “my workforce is totally healthy,” you’re reading the right webpage. Did you know that all of the above health concerns are almost COMPLETELY avoidable, and therefore manageable? For example, fully 96% of back pain cases are avoidable.
Your workforce is busy, and hopefully they’re doing a good job. But are the underlying factors causing the health issues you’re concerned about actually improving?
When I think back to my previous C-level stints at various companies, I would NOT have liked my answer had I been asked that question. In fact, I myself was heading towards a health-related trainwreck that was interfering with my professional and personal lives. That’s why I joined forces with my co-founders to create Your Movement Rx.
Work with us, and you’ll build a durable, healthy, and productive workforce, allowing your managers and directors to get the most out of their teams. A hidden benefit? It’s soooo much easier to run a business and provide value to your customers when your employees are able to stick around and fulfill the promise you saw in them when you hired them.
So if you like the idea of giving your workforce the right tools to manage their health, let’s talk today. Get in contact with us using the form below and I or one of my colleagues will get back to you very quickly.
