For clients trying to lose or gain weight, or who want to design an individualized nutrition plan. RMR is measured in a rested, fasting state to obtain the most accurate representation of the minimum amount of calories your body requires to function.

DEXA (DXA) Scan

The gold standard for body composition analysis, this scan accurately measures body fat, bone density and muscle mass.

Sports Training and Nutrition

Fitness Assessment

A thorough evaluation of overall fitness including aerobic capacity, body composition, strength and flexibility. This information can be used to create a personalized blueprint for training, taking into account your strengths, limitations, goals, age, medical and orthopedic history and current level of training.

Individual Training Sessions (30 or 60 minute)

1-on-1 training sessions available based on standard assessments or sport-specific assessments to strengthen, improve performance or rehabilitate.

Comprehensive assessments with nutrition action plan, and follow-ups for: weight management, sports nutrition, endurance fueling plans, anti-inflammatory/recovery, or GI symptoms or deficiencies related to training and competition. Follow up packages are available at a discount.

Myofascial Targeted Services

Manual therapy approaches that releases tension in the form of muscle tightness, dysfunction and trigger points throughout the body. Gentle, hands-on techniques can decrease pain and inefficiencies, while improving range of motion and mobility.

Massage Therapy

Therapists experienced in treating chronic pain, perioperative conditions, sports or traumatic injuries, arthritis, scoliosis, and other pathological conditions, as well as enhancing sports performance.

M.E.L.T.

Self-myofascial release technique for the foot and hand using balls of different sizes and densities. Good for recurring soft tissue issues. Price includes kit and 30 minute instruction.
