St. Augustine's words reflect a core philosophy at Flow Chiropractic: Listen to your body, and move freely.

If you turn internally, you’ll feel your love and you’ll act in a way that is congruent with that love.

If you turn internally, you’ll feel your body and all of its organizing systems and you’ll move in a way congruent and helpful with how it wishes to move.

If you’re feeling stuck or disconnected it may be prime time for an adjustment. Check availability and book all online at the link in bio.

“One can’t solve problems in the same consciousness that created them.” -AE

We create patterns (movement patterns included) that help us get through tasks. Once completed, it would be best to let these patterns go in order to make room for new ones to help us in our current situation. When we don’t let these strategies go and we try to apply old reasoning to a new circumstance, problems arise.

People often come in and say they feel like a muscle or an area in their body is clenching and won’t let go. The adjustment helps clear that holding pattern but if change outside the office doesn’t happen, the pattern and its symptoms often come back. It’s like emptying and refilling the same shaped container.

Prepare for a change ➡️ get adjusted ➡️ change

Phase 2 - Shifting weight from the outside of your foot to the ball of your big toe rotates the bones of the ankle so the foot can be rigid. If the bones can’t make this transition, you will be forced to push off of a ‘soft foot’ meaning some tissue, somewhere else up the chain, will be taking that force inefficiency. This may mean a knee ligament takes on extra stretch or a hip stabilizer has to hold on tight to improve force transmission from the bigger muscle groups.

Mastering this weight shift will prepare you for a more efficient gait cycle, which means more energy, less pain, and more function!

Dance like you’ve got 2 left feet?

The hyperbole might be closer to reality than you’d expect.The higher quality of information you can receive from your environment, the higher quality output you can create.

Adjustments to joints not only offer a greater Range of Motion, but they challenge the nervous system to experience that area, and surround areas, in a new way with more freedom of movement.

We learn to work around these disconnects in our perception, so they often go unnoticed, but better movement patterns may be just one adjustment away!

That’s why we lock anything.

Understanding what fixation is trying to protect, and valuing why it needs protection, helps us feel grateful that these mechanisms are in place.

Then, feeling grateful for their utility, we can begin to explore more functional ways to stay safe and increase mobility!

Chiropractic is about unleashing was is natural within you.

Rather than trying to constrict and control, our aim is to follow the twists and turns and find their usefulness.
