Every path starts with an assessment.
Because the test determines the treatment, new clients begin with the New Client Assessment & Treatment. The other services build from what it finds.

Manual Therapy & Movement
For patterns that need more than one loop: follow-up sessions and structured multi-session plans built on progressive change, home programming, loading — and a retest at every step.
Some patterns change in a session. Others — decades-old compensations, post-surgical guarding, layered restrictions — change across a plan. Ongoing work keeps the same discipline as the first visit: every session reassesses before it treats, and every intervention has to earn its place by moving a measure. Between visits you carry a small, individualized home program — a few precise drills selected from what your retests support, not a generic sheet.
Within each session
Re-baseline the pattern, apply the smallest useful input — manual therapy, neuromuscular work, mobility, breathing, positioning, or loading — and retest against the original measure.
Across the plan
Interventions progress as your measures do: tissue work gives way to controlled range, controlled range to loading, loading to the activities you actually want back.
At home
Individualized programming with clear coaching, so the change made in the studio is trained into your daily movement — and you understand why each drill exists.

Gait & Footwear Assessment
Walking looks like legs, but it's a whole-body pattern — and your shoes sit in the middle of it. This assessment measures how you walk, what your footwear changes, and what to do about both.
You take thousands of steps a day through two feet with over fifty joints between them. Whatever the foot can't do, something above it must — an ankle that won't bend borrows from the knee, a stiff big toe rewrites the hip's job. That's why gait is assessed as a whole-body pattern here, not a foot problem — and why it's retested, in your shoes and out of them, so changes are measured rather than assumed.
Walking strategy
How you organize each step — stance, swing, and the timing between the two sides.
Pressure distribution
Where your weight actually travels across each foot, and which corners you avoid.
Joint motion
What the ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, and ribcage each contribute — and what they borrow from each other.
Reciprocal pattern
The whole-body spiral of walking: pelvis and ribcage counter-rotating, arms answering legs.
Your actual shoes
Wear pattern, heel drop, toe room — what each pair permits and what it forbids.
Retest in footwear
Shoes are tested by what they change in your movement, not just how they feel on.
Bring the shoes you actually live in — the pair you use most for walking, work, and training. They're part of the assessment.

Virtual Assessment & Coaching
The same method, over video: guided self-assessment, individualized drills, clear coaching, and retesting — wherever you are.
- 01
Guided self-assessment
On video, Alexander walks you through the same baseline logic used in the studio — testing the ranges and relationships relevant to your problem, with your own camera as the measuring tool.
- 02
Individualized drills
A small set of precise drills selected for your pattern, coached live until the positions and intent are right — not a generic program.
- 03
Retest and adjust
The original tests are repeated so you both see what changed. Better, unchanged, or worse is information, and it shapes the next step.
Virtual works well for
- Ongoing coaching between or after in-person visits
- Home-program check-ins, progressions, and technique fixes
- People outside Orange County who want the same assessment logic
- Movement problems that can be tested and trained without hands-on work
What virtual can't replace
Hands-on work is available only in person. When a pattern needs manual therapy — or when what's found on video suggests another provider or a diagnostic workup is the better next step — Alexander says so plainly and points you there.
All you need is a phone or laptop camera, a few feet of floor space, and clothing you can move in.
