Our 3 Step Process

As your personal physical therapy doctors and movement specialists, we are your partners in sport and health. At B3, we understand your body is one of a kind and moves differently from life stressors, repetitive jobs, hobbies, accidents, and past experiences.

B1 – Building Confidence

Your initial assessment is comprehensive and uses a full body movement screen to identify the underlying cause(s) of your pain or movement restrictions. Just imagine three weeks from now you are out of pain from focusing on a few simple things that provide the majority of the results. Once your body feels safe and pain has been addressed, the next step is consistency.

B2 – Balancing Your Body

Doing things for one week, and even one month, despite what many claim, just isn’t going to work for the long term. Sure, you can make progress and feel a BIG difference in as little as one visit, but ask yourself. Are you willing to put in the effort to achieve lasting results. Your body feels and moves differently every single day. By staying consistent with our simple approach to balancing your body, you’ll be able to do things long-term.

B3 – Body Reset

While we all want immediate results, it would serve us better to slow down and enjoy the movement journey. Instead of thinking exclusively about when you’ll see transforming results, we need to practice patience. There is no one money move that we can give you to eliminate your pain for the long term. Better movement scores come from moving better in your body. We measure progress during each session to identify changes in mobility, strength, alignment, balance, endurance, speed, agility and performance. Patience leads to happiness and longevity.
