Holistic Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Services in
NYC to Restore Movement

Restore the Way Your Body Was Designed to Move

When movement becomes inefficient, every activity starts to feel harder: walking, sitting, working out, running, and even breathing. Our Movement & Alignment program is a comprehensive form of Movement Therapy NYC, bringing together advanced, research-based methods to retrain your body, improve stability, and restore natural movement patterns.

This service is ideal for anyone dealing with pain, stiffness, compensation patterns, or recurring injuries. By understanding how you move and why certain patterns have developed, we can design a personalized plan that produces sustainable, long-term results.

What This Service Helps With

The Movement & Alignment program is ideal for individuals experiencing:

Our Techniques

A technique that restores your natural stabilization system by retraining the way your body organizes movement from its developmental roots.

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)

DNS helps re-educate your body’s core stabilization system using developmental movement patterns. This method retrains how your diaphragm, core, and deep stabilizers coordinate, helping your body restore the natural strength it had during early development. It improves: Core stability, Joint support, Breathing coordination and Whole-body control



McKenzie Method (MDT)

MDT, combined with Functional Movement Screening New York, uses repeated movements and targeted loading strategies to reduce pain and restore function, especially in the spine. It empowers you to understand which specific movements ease your symptoms, allowing us to build a personalized plan that reduces flare-ups and promotes long-term spinal health. It helps with: Disc-related discomfort, Neck and low-back pain & Pain that changes with movement.

Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT)

NKT identifies dysfunctional muscle recruitment patterns—the root cause behind compensation and chronic strain. By testing how your brain prioritizes certain muscles, we uncover hidden imbalances and retrain proper sequencing so your body moves with less effort and more control. It corrects: “Overactive” muscles that do too much , “Underactive” muscles that stop supporting you & Imbalanced movement patterns

Postural Restoration (PRI)

Postural Restoration (PRI)

PRI is a key part of our Postural Alignment Therapy New York approach, addressing postural asymmetries, breathing patterns, and the way your body uses (and overuses) certain muscles. This method helps unwind long-held patterns created by stress, sitting, sports, or past injuries, allowing your body to finally adopt a neutral, efficient posture. It is effective for: Long-standing posture issues, Pelvic or ribcage imbalances & Chronic tightness that keeps returning

Services List

Gait Analysis

As part of our Biomechanical Assessment NYC, this evaluates the mechanics of your walking and running patterns to identify inefficiencies and movement limitations. Even subtle changes in foot strike, hip control, or stride length can affect your entire kinetic chain; this analysis pinpoints those details with precision. It provides insight into: Foot strike Hip and knee alignment Running mechanics Pelvic stability

Services List

Functional taping

Functional taping provides targeted support to muscles and joints while allowing natural movement. It helps improve alignment, reduce strain, and enhance stability without limiting mobility. This technique supports injury recovery, promotes proper muscle activation, improves posture, and helps prevent further strain during daily activities or physical movement.

Why This Approach Works

Movement is a system; when one part stops supporting you, another part overcompensates. Our work focuses on restoring the entire system, not just the painful area.

This integrated model forms the foundation of our Movement Restoration NYC philosophy. By combining DNS, MDT, NKT, PRI, and Gait Analysis, we create a comprehensive approach that:
