Every human should move well and move often.

Our mission is to help as many people do that as possible. At Movement As Medicine, we vision ourselves as “Movement Therapists.”

We pride ourselves on treating the person, not just treating the pain. No human body is exactly the same, and for that reason, no painful condition should be treated exactly the same. We take a unique, personalized approach to each individual who walks through our door

. Life should be lived in motion. We’re here to help you move more, move better, and keep doing the things you love to do. At Movement As Medicine we have multiple therapy options depending on your specific treatment goals. Read below to find the right therapy option for you. Orthopedic Massage and Movement Therapy

Orthopedic Massage and Movement Therapy is intended for clients looking to resolve a specific issue including but not limited to chronic pain/discomfort, acute injury, postural dysfunction and immobility. Our Movement Therapy sessions often resemble physical therapy more than traditional massage therapy. Every session begins with a comprehensive assessment followed by hands-on treatment as well as corrective exercise and movement re-education. We incorporate exercise and movement training into our treatments because we believe in not only resolving your pain but also re-patterning your body to move correctly to prevent future dysfunction.

Traditional Full-Body Relaxation and Recovery Treatment

Our Full-Body Relaxation and Recovery treatments are a great option for clients who are looking to reduce overall tension and stress, prepare for a competition, recover from competition or just loosen up a bit. Our full-body treatment is what most people would picture as a typical massage therapy session. Each session begins with a short assessment to determine focus areas that help us tailor the treatment to your needs. We provide a quiet relaxing atmosphere to accompany a full-body massage that incorporates traditional Swedish techniques as well as Myofascial release and stretching.

Huge Chin-Up by Holly this AM 💪

The product of real, consistent training.

She comes 2–3x/week in our Adult Group Program and has been dedicated to working on her chin-ups every week.

Just showing up consistently, getting stronger, and putting in reps over time.

Repetitively do boring things well, over and over and one day you might surprise yourself with something you couldn’t do before.

Shoutout to .cullenmc for filling in for me and filming this.

Enrollment is always open ➡️ bodybyboyle.com

Alternating Lateral Sumo Squat

I’ve been really enjoying this lateral squat variation for both myself and my clients.

I’m not sure there’s a better combination of strength and mobility in a single exercise.

For athletes, it loads the frontal plane and builds hip abduction/adduction strength that carries over well to multidirectional sports especially hockey.

For general population clients, it’s a highly effective loaded mobility drill targeting an area most people need.

I like alternating back and forth and reaching the DB/KB toward the working side helps you sit deeper into that hip.

Programs work best when all the pieces are there.

Training shouldn’t just be a collection of random exercises. It should be structured and sequentially planned.

Mobility ➡️ Movement Prep ➡️ Power ➡️ Full Body Strength ➡️ Conditioning

No matter the client, the framework stays the same. The details adjust based on the individual.

Sustainability and results come from all the pieces working together.

Strength training is a non-negotiable for aging well.

Muscle, bone density, metabolic health, cognition and physical independence all depend on it.

It doesn’t have to be excessively hard or complicated.

When injuries happen, the first instinct for parents and athletes is often to shut everything down and rest until it heals.

That sounds logical, but it’s often not the best approach for recovery or return to play.

When applied correctly, continuing to train around an injury can actually support the healing process.

Coaches and athletes should focus on adapting:
Train what you can. Modify what you must.

The hormonal and physiological benefits of exercise help create a better environment for recovery. And just as important, staying involved in training maintains a sense of routine and normalcy.

Maintaining some level of consistent loading during an injury helps limit detraining and reduces large spikes between acute and chronic workloads, so the athlete is better prepared when it’s time to return.

There’s also a crossover effect: training the uninjured side can help preserve strength in the injured limb through neural adaptations.

Lastly, consistent training can help support the athlete psychologically. Injuries also impact an athletes mindset, identity, and confidence. Following a well-adjusted training plan gives the athlete something they can do and keeps them moving forward, even when they’re not at 100%.

The problem with most fitness advice is that it isn’t built for real life.

We’re not moving enough. And for those who try, they run into a fitness world that’s often confusing, extreme, and impractical.

Too many books explain why exercise matters…but leave you asking, “What should we actually do?”

This book is meant to answer that.

This isn’t a six-minute solution or complicated longevity protocol.

This is a practical guide to building strength, staying resilient, and stacking the odds in your favor as you age.

Written intentionally to be clear, practical and built for real life.

The most common criticisms I hear about single-leg training:

“You can’t load it heavy enough.”
“It’s more balance than strength.”

We just haven’t seen that at MBSC.

If balance and hip stability are the limiting factors then that is exactly what needs to be trained, especially with older adults.

With athletes and more advanced clients? Balance is never an issue. Load it heavy.

Our benchmark: ~50% bodyweight on true single-leg movements.

Most loading limits are self-imposed. We’re just not used to pushing these exercises that hard.

If you can’t load it, it’s probably not a limitation of the exercise as much as a limitation in how you’re coaching it.
