Your body was never meant to be straight.
Not your spine. Not your posture. Not your path. 🌈

There are no straight lines in nature, and none in you. Your curves tell the story of movement, resilience and expression.

✨ At Kaname, we help you return to your natural rhythm.
✨ Less tension. More breath.
✨ More presence. More you.

As a musician, Yero () lives by rhythm.

But after surviving police brutality, his body was out of sync — in pain, off-center, stuck in survival mode.

X-rays showed it:
🟥 Head 67mm forward
🟦 Spine shifted away from center

With care, that changed.
His posture realigned.
His clarity returned.
His rhythm came back.

Dr. Cassie's first exercise class at Kaname Chiropractic was a success! Didn't catch pictures in the moment with the community because she was so in the moment with them but here are some vibes of the morning. 💫

She focused on: Ankle alignment and mobility, joint movement and compound movements. 👣🤸🏽‍♀️

Everyone came wanting to gain tools for improving balance, strength and to takeaway some work outs they can do at home. They all got what they came for and more! 💥

Chiropractic spinal alignment, mobility and strength training all go hand in hand for successful growth. 🌿

She'll be teaching again next month, contact the office to sign up. It's a class we're offering free for the community 🙌🏽
