The MOVEMENT THERAPY Formula:
Welcome to your modern day Stretch Class!
This is not Yoga, though we take elements of what we’ve learned from Joga, Pilates and Animal Flow and sprinkle them in, because they are so powerful in MOBILIZING your body.
We add elements of Thai Massage and Stretch Therapy to explore the fascia of your body through a combination of static and dynamic STRETCHES.
And then we deal with the Neurokinetic relationship of your brain and your muscles to activate dormant patterns through muscle ACTIVATION.
Our goal is to help you to get a better understanding of your body. Movement Therapy was created by Devon MD Jones for everyone to:
Increase flexibility: especially for those of us who are not naturally flexible
Increase body awareness: the more we understand, the better we can help it.
Increase mobility: the better we move the better we feel.
Increase Core Strength: holds everything together
Decrease stress, pain and inflammation throughout the body.
Our flexibility comes from a combination of mobility and strength.
Join the Movement Therapy… Movement. Take your training to the next level by focusing on those small little things so they don’t become big things.

Why Movement Therapy?
I developed the Movement Therapy system from the needs of my current personal training clients. This system is a combination of Mobility, Strength and Breath-work to help you connect to your body in new ways as you prehab, rehab and recover from the stress in your mind and body.

Regressing your routine, allows for a gentler progression towards full recovery, preventing setbacks and promoting gradual strengthening and healing.

Certified Instructor
LifeStretch® is a mobility-stretch class that is designed to help your individual clients or group members become more flexible in body, mind and spirit so that they feel not only more functionally mobile but also more capable to deal with the physical and mental demands of their lives. This comes from a non-competitive atmosphere in class that focuses on the innate physical intelligence and abilities within the individual. Instead of comparing oneself to others or to the person next to them in class, the participant is encouraged to find the best way to move and function for them, not some ideal.
