The method · New Client Assessment & Treatment
Every session at Holistic Muscle Therapy runs on one loop: establish a baseline, apply a precise input, retest against the original measure. Nothing is assumed — your response decides what comes next.
The loop
The session begins with a baseline. Interventions are selected according to the pattern found, not by habit. The original test is repeated so the response determines what stays, what changes, and what comes next.
History and goals first, then testing — the relationships most relevant to your movement problem, measured so change can be seen rather than guessed at.
One or more interventions chosen for the pattern the baseline revealed. The smallest useful input, applied precisely.
The original test, repeated immediately. Better, unchanged, or worse is information — and it directs the plan.
The baseline
Range of motion, gait, breathing, posture, rotation, balance, footwear, strength, and task-specific movement may be used to establish a baseline — the reference every result is judged against.
The working principles
The toolbox
What is used depends on what the assessment finds — never a standard routine.
Functional movement assessment
Joint-by-joint testing of the ranges and relationships your problem actually uses.
Manual therapy
Hands-on work selected for the pattern found — precision over pressure.
Neuromuscular work
Focused work on the interaction between nerves and muscles, including trigger-point and tension patterns.
Breathing and positioning
The ribcage moves twenty thousand times a day; when it participates, everything attached to it changes.
Joint-specific mobility
Training usable, controlled range — not just passive flexibility.
Gait assessment and retraining
Walking strategy, pressure distribution, and the reciprocal pattern between hips, ribcage, and arms.
Footwear testing
Shoes are tested by what they change in your movement, not just how they feel.
Movement education
You leave understanding what was found and why the chosen input mattered.
Progressive loading
Capacity is built gradually, matched to what each retest supports.
Individualized home programming
A small number of precise drills — not a generic sheet of twenty.
Virtual assessment and coaching
Guided self-assessment and coaching by video when in-person isn't practical.
Who this is for
What matters is a willingness to participate, communicate honestly, and let your response guide the plan. When another provider or a diagnostic workup is the better next step, Alexander says so and refers out.
Alexander does not diagnose medical conditions and refers clients to an appropriate licensed healthcare professional when evaluation or treatment falls outside his professional scope.

Every new client begins with the same appointment. Follow-up formats exist so the plan can match what the retest supports — nothing is prescribed before the baseline exists.
