“I went to several physical therapists and chiropractors trying to find relief… Thankfully I found Nick before seeing a surgeon.”

— Brandon M.

“Sweet it is, during a tempest when the gales lash the waves, to watch from the shore another man’s great striving.”

The willingness to struggle and ultimately overcome is the archetype of the hero. More challenging than the physical side of therapy is often the emotional one, because change is slow and often imperceptible. It’s tempting and understandable to give up. To keep going in spite of adversity is the hard work, but the only path out. To participate as a guide, and bear witness to that struggle is an inspiration.

Nick's passion is helping people. With an aim to change the focus from treating illness to pursuing good health, Nick is working to push past the sickness culture into the wellness movement. With healthcare costs on the rise, our society must choose to pursue healthy lifestyles. In the same way you prepare financially for retirement, tomorrow's health begins with seeds planted today. There exists no magic health pill, potion or procedure. Nick believes that consistency and simplicity are the best approaches to long-term health.

What do you treat?

Head to Toe: TMJ, palate and skull, neck and shoulder, abdominal viscera, low back, knee, hip and foot. The body is a fully integrated system, so we have to be able to manage all the parts because no part works in isolation.

There is nothing more powerful for our health than being physically capable. Physical strength is more highly correlated to our mortality than blood pressure or cholesterol, and brings more longevity than altering those metrics can. The consequences of pain and weakness spirals into more pain and weakness, resulting in a more sedentary lifestyle. Exercise directly impacts those lab values, keeping us alive longer, and also helps us to more fully engage in life. How much better is it to get down on the floor and play with kids rather than watching from the couch. Being in the mountains are more enjoyable when you have the capacity to hike them. But more importantly, strength is also the thing that helps you get up off the floor if you fall down, and prepares your bones to prevent fractures. Fitness helps us live better, and I am so thankful to participate in that journey with my clients.
