Whether you are an elite athlete looking for an athletic chiropractor, or a weekend warrior you can rest assured that 8 Flags Chiropractic understands your needs! Our physicians walk the walk when it comes to personal health and fitness, therefore you can count on recommendations that are tried and true.

Drs. Jayde and james (athletic chiropractor) employ a holistic approach that blends the benefits of passive therapies such as chiropractic adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression, electrical muscle stimulation, myofascial release, and neuromuscular re-education with active therapies such as rehabilitative exercise, as well as strength and conditioning to ensure that you not only feel better, but also function better for a lifetime.

Conventional exercise equipment and fancy machines have become extremely popular in the modern gym setting, but few of theses tools serve to help challenge the human body in its natural state as a whole.

A strategic approach to restoring and improving the elasticity of your muscles and connective tissues via the passive therapies we offer paired with a well-planned fitness regimen based on the body’s seven fundamental movement patterns is the key to success.

The seven fundamental patterns that the human body is capable of accomplishing are:

1) Pushing
2) Pulling
3) Twisting
4) Squatting
5) Hinging
6) Lunging
7) Gait (walking/running)

Therefore by definition, an inability to perform one or more of these movements directly translates to a loss of some degree of function, which often leads to a reduction in quality of life.

At 8 Flags Chiropractic our fitness professionals are highly skilled with exercise program design and implementation that will help you increase your proficiency in the seven fundamental patterns, which will provide a foundation for progressing you to perform more complex movement patterns, and/or sport-specific programming for athletes.

Our training programs begin with an assessment of your goals, limitations, biometrics (e.g. bodyfat, weight, blood pressure, and limb measurements) followed by a movement screening to determine your tolerance for exercise.

With this information your coach will design a fitness program just for you that will specify the frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercises that will be optimal for you. This will also include mobility and stretching exercises to maintain your range of motion, and serve as preventative measures for injury.
