Why We Opened Our Doors
We saw the same pattern across college and pro teams: time, hands-on care, and a clear plan get people back to what they love. So in 2023, we opened our clinic in Cumming, Georgia, with one-on-one, longer sessions focused on real movement, not just what looks good on a table.

How Your Care Works Here
STEP 1
We’ll listen to your story, then perform a head-to-toe movement test to find what’s actually driving the pain.
STEP 2
We’ll treat the irritants with the right combination of hands-on care to calm down hot spots, and restore motion.
STEP 3
We’ll give you targeted, useful exercises, not a generic band sheet, so changes stick, even outside the clinic.
STEP 4
We’ll measure changes you can feel and see, then keep re-testing until you go from pain relief to performance.

Tools We May Use In Your Plan

Safe, precise joint movement to improve ROM, blood flow, pain, and shift the body from “fight-or-flight” to “rest-and-digest.”
Chiropractic Adjustments

Gentle up-down table work to open joints, especially helpful for lower backs. (We don’t do spinal decompression machines.)
Flexion Distraction

Tiny needles at trigger points to release stubborn knots and reset muscle/nerve behavior; e-stim when helpful.
Dry Needling

Goal-driven, firm work to reduce tension and improve mobility; less invasive than needling.
Deep Tissue / Sports Massage

Non-invasive acoustic waves that reach deep into tissue—great for deeper structures and chronic issues, especially in the extremities.
SoftWave (Shockwave)

Gold-standard pin-and-stretch at the end range to restore motion.
Active Release Technique (ART)

Stainless‑steel tools to find and treat local, chronic tendon issues in the elbow, knee, plantar fascia, etc.
Graston Technique® (IASTM)

“Old blood out, new blood in.” We scan/glide, sometimes set cups briefly, and move joints through range.
Cupping Therapy

Rehab-heavy, progressive programming that fits how you train and live.
Corrective Exercise
