Movement Health Science

Movement Health Science has allowed me to continue to play at the college level. I have dealt with back injuries for years that have kept me sidelined. I had tried various methods to rehab it from traditional physical therapy to pilates. However after working with Doug and the team at Movement Health Science, my back pain had gone away and my back became noticeably stronger. Doug’s knowledge and care is second to none. He really invests in the athletes he works with, as he consistently checks in with me and does all he can to make sure my back issues do not return. The facility is also amazing, with some of the most advanced equipment to analyze every movement. Learning from the equipment and Doug helped me become a better and more efficient athlete. I am very thankful for my time I spent at Movement Health Science and the help that they have given me.

Movement Health Science has improved my athletic ability with insights I have never been given in my 6 years of receiving direct athletic coaching. I never had the tools to figure out what was limiting my success on the lacrosse field until working one on one with Doug where he discovered a significant discrepancy in the strength of my quads and the strength/engagement with my hip flexors and glutes. The unique exercises and stretches that Doug catered to me with a straightforward program improved my speed, agility, and overall success on the lacrosse field. The best part of Movement Health Science is Doug's curiosity and passion for sports rehabilitation and his eagerness to find the source of a problem and not to simply put temporary band aids on pain/discrepancies that his athletes are facing. Doug and Mark cultivate a wonderful environment at MHS and I would 10/10 recommend this sports medicine center to any athlete or person looking to take their athletic abilities to the next level.

I highly recommend Movement Health Science. After struggling with hip pain for eight months, I went to see Doug (based on a friend's recommendation) to see what he could do to help. A combination of tissue manipulation, precision exercises, and a return-to-running routine that used their Alter-G low gravity treadmill got me back to running within weeks...and back to running ultramarathons in a few months. After being injured for so long, it was such a relief to be able to move past it. I felt like Doug and crew listened very well to my specific difficulties, my goals, and the myriad of things I'd already tried. They then did a thorough assessment to uncover underlying issues and get to the root of the problem. Doug really knows what he's doing! So many professional athletes turn to him for help and their facility has state-of-the-art equipment to diagnose and help treat whatever mobility or strength issue people have. Thank you again for helping me return to my favorite sport! I wholeheartedly recommend Movement Health Science.

I was having some serious knee pain due to running. It didn't matter how much time I took off, the pain kept coming back. I went to a sports doctor, chiropractor, and a physical therapist, but they couldn't figure out my problem. Months had gone by, and I began to wonder if I would ever be able to run with pleasure again. Besides being an athlete, I'm also a high school coach. One of my coaching peers recommended that I see his friend, Doug, who specializes in using bio-mechanics to understand and address overuse injuries. He put me through a battery of tests to identify my strengths and weaknesses. Through his analysis, he identified shortcomings and where I was overcompensating. It turned out I didn't have a knee injury, but rather a weak response in my glutes. Once we identified the issue, Doug put me on regimen that allowed me to get back to running in a few weeks. I've been running pain free for months! Thanks, Doug!

Without a doubt the most talented and knowledgeable professionals I have ever worked with. Without exaggeration, working w Doug truly changed my life. His knowledge of body mechanics and how he is able to diagnose the issues and put together a comprehensive follow up plan just doesn’t exist anywhere. And I should know because I was treated by many people that were supposed experts but no one could help. I now have zero pain and am athletically at my peak!

I cannot speak highly enough of this company and program. I’m a high performance athlete that’s struggled for years with various injuries that I now realize could have been prevented if I had found movement health science earlier. After working with them for a few months I move better than I ever have, have more confidence in my body, and have relationships that will last for my athletic career and beyond. Doug and his team are working on a level of detail that no other team in athletics are working at and it’s no coincidence that some of the best athletes in the world rely on them to improve and enhance their performance.

Doug was instrumental in helping me recover from my second foot surgery. I was so frustrated and disappointed to have to endure a second surgery and recovery, but his encouragement and knowledge helped me get back to 100%. Doug was always willing to listen to my concerns and address them to aid in my recovery. I hope I don't need to, but I would definitely work with Doug again!

Doug is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and really cares about getting clients healthy and back better than before. As a former D-1 college athlete, I've worked with many PT's and performance experts, and Doug is by far the smartest and most effective person I have ever worked with. Highly recommend.
