Julie's Approach

Integrating body alignment, neurological reconnection, muscle reprogramming and a productive mindset.

Learn

First, we’ll discuss the current state of your body, as well as what led you to see us. Once we have a good idea of the challenges you’re facing, we can begin a physical assessment.

Assess

During the physical assessment, we’ll conduct a hands-on examination in order to examine and better understand your body and all of its systems.

Diagnose

Once we’re familiar with your case and have completed a physical assessment, we’ll provide you with a clear, in-depth explanation of what is going on, what the next steps are to treat the issue(s) and what you can do to be part of the solution.

Treat

We will start your journey towards healing right away! Treatment begins during your initial visit addressing your body as a whole. Then, we’ll give you some suggested activities and help you integrate them into your daily routine so you can continue to improve your body and health on your own.

Join the Corporate Wellness program and help your employees and staff learn how to help themselves.

Through a series of wellness talks your people will learn tips, tools, and techniques to relieve pain, develop healthy habits, and become healthier over all at work and at home.

Pain is Personal

No two people experience pain the same way or feel pain with the same intensity.

There are, however, several commonly-used pain terms and phrases that describe – and point to – the types of tissues involved. Learning the structures associated with certain descriptive words can help you accurately express what is affected and will assist you when explaining your issue(s).

Body Affects services are designed to help you help yourself. For more information, questions or concerns—don’t hesitate to reach out! We’d love to hear from you.

“My experience with Julie was nothing short of life-changing. I’ve had various deep pains that have lasted for years, and for which I’ve spent many hours and tons of money on treatments that helped a little. I am so grateful to a friend, who also had a life-changing experience, who pointed me here. Huge change after the first session. This is the biggest gift you could give yourself. To help your body work with you, not against you.”

“As an athlete, I regularly have all sorts of body issues where my muscles or ribs are not where they are supposed to be. Julie is the only person I have ever met that will put me back into place, show me how to not do it again, and leave me feeling like a million bucks. I have yet to find a problem she can’t resolve and that’s a great feeling for me. She is someone I trust and will continue to go to.”
