Alex approaches care with a dynamic systems approach taking into account the individual, the environment and individual goals as part of his method to improving performance and injury adaptation. Challenging his clients within their current athletic capacity and emphasizing the integrated movement of the whole kinetic chain rather than isolated areas. This means you’ll work on movement quality, strength, and resilience — not just symptom relief.
