Our vision is to get everyone – including you – to live pain-free
without having to rely on the healthcare system.
No pills. No procedures. Just quality Movement as Your Rx.
What’s in a Name? For Us, A Lot
Healthcare today is a paradox. Hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in developing incredible technology to address certain diseases and surgeries. Yet at the same time, general health is getting worse. The solution to that is not a pill or procedure, and so it’s ignored by the economic powerhouses of the healthcare world.
The solution starts with building your body’s ability to move well. Lack of strength, balance, stability, and mobility are the precursors to all chronic health conditions. Your prescription (i.e. your Rx) must be movement.
We’ve designed an answer. Your Movement Rx is the premier personal and workplace resource for movement based education and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal pain. It is a place where you can connect with physical therapists and movement experts to learn the tools and techniques to heal yourself, without a doctor, surgery, or pills. Our programs have helped thousands of people connect with their body, eliminate chronic pain, and improve emotional health.
What We Do
We get people better, faster. Our programs help people get to the root cause of their pain and injury and back to doing the things they love. If you, your employees, your patients or your clients have lower back, shoulder, or knee pain, our team of physical therapists and movement experts provide safe and progressive programs to eliminate that pain. We’ve distilled the optimal techniques learned from over 80,000 contact hours coaching, treating, and educating and integrated those into our programs. From Navy SEALs to Midwest call center personnel and everyone in between, our programs work.
Why We Do It
We are on a mission to eliminate pain in the workplace. Why? We do it because we believe that movement and mindfulness is the ONLY sustainable model of healthcare. And it’s the cheapest. We believe that this needs to happen where people spend most of their waking hours – at work. We believe that true growth and happiness is a process, not a pill. We believe that you can be your own advocate, heal your own chronic injuries, and that self-care is a necessary modern day tool. We want to empower with the tools and techniques we have used to help thousands of individuals experience physical freedom. Remember, freedom is an inalienable right.
What Our Customers Have To Say
"I just wanted to let you guys know that I have been able to throw square bales to my horses with no pain, and I had a dance party with my younger but not small 80lb daughter, lifts and spins included, and My back felt nothing! So thank you...I want to keep this going. Are levels 2-4 programmed the same way? ."
"My baseline pain has really decreased here by week 6. Oh my God, this is what it's like not to have to be so constantly and intensely nagged by pain!"
"I’ spent about 3 months (3 days/week) going to the chiropractor...Equal to $2,000 out of pocket. After 3 months of the chiropractor still had some tightness and pain. I’m 1 week into this program and the pain is gone! I can’t wait to see what else happens. Not getting ahead of myself, but I love the relief. Finally!"
"Thank you guys for putting out such awesome stuff. Changed my life man :)"
"I videoed my running today and compared it to the one I took before I got on the program. The difference is epic! My left hip doesn't feel like it's failing anymore. Plus I'm sleeping better and not having anxiety attacks anymore. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel like everyone should experience this. Seriously, I cannot thank you enough...."
"As a fitness professional I think the program is outstanding...We've had tremendous success with it. All clients had great success on the program. Most were CrossFit clients who have returned back to the CrossFit side of the gym and have done really, really well. Another client went through the program and entered his first Olympic distance Ironman and has had no issues."
