Motion ChiroTherapy helps active adults understand what is limiting movement, treat what is appropriate, and build a practical path forward through movement, mobility, strength, and rehab-based chiropractic care.
At Motion ChiroTherapy, each patient is evaluated individually. Our approach combines movement assessment, hands-on care when appropriate, rehab, mobility work, strengthening, and practical recommendations based on your goals. The goal is not simply to treat where it hurts. The goal is to understand what is limiting movement and function and determine the most appropriate next step.
Hands-on care is only part of the process. As a movement-focused sports chiropractor in Lithia, we look beyond quick fixes. Depending on your assessment, your care plan integrates targeted functional rehabilitation, mobility work, strength building, movement modification, and activity-specific recommendations to get you moving without pain.
At Motion ChiroTherapy, care begins with understanding the problem. We evaluate movement, identify meaningful limitations, treat what is appropriate, and give patients practical strategies they can use outside the office.
Global Rehabilitation & Injury Prevention or GRIP is a rehabilitation system based on a full body perspective. These highly specific exercises allows you to gain range of motion, strength and stability to unlock proper global patterns.
This allows you to overcome pain caused by faulty movement patterns and prevent future injuries. The GRIP approach utilizes developmental kinesiology, current fascia research and modern pain science to get you out of pain quickly.
The McKenzie method is a standardized assessment tool that classifies movement problems leading to appropriate treatment. Without a full range of motion and proper use of joints, our backs, necks and joints become stiff and less mobile, leading to pain, greater loss of movement and dysfunction.
MDT effectively treats conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, radiating leg pain, arm pain/numbness, and sciatica. MDT is also effective at classifying and treating the extremities such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle, and even TMJ (jaw).
One of the key components of this method is patient education. This method utilizes education to train the patient on proper posture and ergonomics and provides the patient with exercises to treat their own pain. It is directed toward patient self-treatment methods, therefore making the patient less reliant on the doctor for relief of their symptoms.

This type of rehab utilizes movements that are individualized and appropriate for each patient’s daily life and goals. The purpose is to promote proper activation and coordination of the neuromuscular system, allowing patients to regain strength and stability to overcome pain.
We primarily utilize the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), a system based on developmental kinesiology.
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is an advanced manual technique where the therapist is able to effectively address soft tissue dysfunctions (i.e. tight, stringy muscles) with the assistance of a contoured instrument.
The instruments give clinicians a mechanical advantage by reducing stress on the hands, magnifying abnormalities (e.g. restrictions, scars, adhesions), and focusing forces through a small area with less friction than using the thumb or fingers.
The goal of treatment is to stimulate an inflammatory healing response – increasing blood flow and stimulating collagen production promotes adequate remodeling and healing of soft tissue structures. Ultimately, reducing overall treatment time and allowing faster recovery.
Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) is a system which applies scientific principles to the acquisition and maintenance of functional mobility, joint resilience, joint health and longevity.
Musculoskeletal health depends on movement, and the FRC system provides a continuum to optimize the human body from pain all the way to peak performance.
Our goal is to help you achieve complete pain relief and enhance your function while equipping you with the tools and knowledge to live an active, healthy life. Explore our latest insights to stay moving without limitations.
