THE BODY SCHOOL APPROACH
Your body is already communicating
“Among the impressive array of machines which humans have invented, there is none that even remotely compares to the subtle and marvelous complexity of the human body.”
— Theodore Dimon Jr.
The Body School helps you learn how to listen.
A grounded approach to healing that blends clinical physical therapy, embodied awareness, and movement. Rather than overriding symptoms, we learn from them—so your body can move with greater clarity, resilience, and ease.
What You Can Expect

The Body School Method is a blend of Functional Manual Therapy®, embodied learning, and movement-based awareness —designed to support the whole of you.
Embodiment + Awareness
Our awareness of our bodies starts with interoception —our body's internal sensory system that detects, interprets, and integrates signals from inside the body, our felt sense.
If we build our awareness through proprioception and somatic practices, our nervous system finds support and regulation, and our capacity for compassion and clarity surrounding our bodies' lived experiences deepens.
Embodiment + Awareness
Mobility +Alignment
Our mobility and alignment give our bodies the capacity to move and options in movement.
If our mobility and alignment are efficient, our options for movement are varied –reducing the impact of friction, load, and stress on any one joint or soft tissue.
All while preserving energy!
Our roadmap to efficient movement patterns, or habits, is in our capacity for efficient motor planning and control.
If our motor planning and control are efficient and effective, we don’t repeatedly place undue stress or load on joints and tissues.
Oh, and again, we preserve energy!
Connection + Coordination
Our connectivity to our neuromuscular system ensures that our bodies are online and ready to respond to our movement requests with efficient or SMART choices.
If our connectivity and coordination are efficient, we don’t use superfluous muscle activity to accomplish our movement choices —reducing overuse and instability.
And preserve energy!
