Not able to be as active as you would like? There are often structural causes that exercise, massage, or chiropractic do not address. Bridging both identifies and addresses these causes and has helped thousands of people at every stage of life from 5 days old to 95 years old to be more active.
The Bridging Technique uniquely uses an engineering-based approach to problem-solve the ways your body should move. In just 2-3 sessions you have less pain, are calmer, more confident, and able to be more active! Here are the three steps used in the Bridging Process:
Micromovements of the core and limbs are passively assessed for flow and ease of transition. These micromovements form in early life and are foundational to all daily movement skills.
Assessment results and the causes for the micromovement disruption—injury, illness, medical intervention, and early life/birth events—are analyzed to develop an optimal plan to reset affected muscle relationships.
Gentle rocking and microstretches are used to reset muscle coordination. The results are fast and long-lasting!
From an engineering perspective, a bridge structurally connects two separate segments to make them continuous. In an electrical circuit, a bridge is used to convert an unstable electrical current into a continuous one. The Bridging Technique embodies both meanings when resetting movements.

It does not need to be athletic wear, but should be easy to move in. Expect to take your shoes off to help keep our floors clean, as we play with little ones here.
After your session
Bridging Insider features video sessions which cover a wide range of scenarios of how micromovement disrupters are tied to your pain, balance, and anxiety concerns. In each, you will see how Bridging is used to quickly help. Note: There are no sessions with children out of respect for privacy concerns.
Bridging Insights are discussions about common movement and development issues and their relationship to being physically active. The discussion often ties together perspectives and events which we commonly find impacting our clients.

What I appreciate about the Bridging process is that the body is all connected. I may have knee pain, but it might be the symptom of something else which is the real cause.”
I have suffered from joint pain for years, maybe decades. After just one session I was relatively pain-free.”
Bottom line, what changed was that I had a faster recovery time from surgery so I was able to get back to work and my daily activities.”
I thought it was regular aging. But after my first session I walked out saying, "Jeepers, I feel 10 years younger!"
I was skeptical about the process until I tried it and it does work.”
I’ve been to so many specialists and had so many tests to try to find answers and relief from severe constant pain. I started to think it was all in head. After my first appointment I left crying because not only did I have significantly less pain, I felt heard, cared for and had a plan on how to continue to feel better. After only a few sessions the pain reduced enough that I was able to return to work as well as enjoy playing with my grandchild."
After his fist session my 9-year old son said, ‘Mom, I never knew my muscles could work this way!” And he couldn’t wait for his next session.”
