Therapy for the everyday athlete
Movement is medicine. Whether you're an office athlete or a professional athlete, our multi-disciplinary team treats patients on a personal level. The Movement Clinic was founded on November 18, 2019 with the mission to enable movement towards a greater purpose. That is, we believe that exercise is the key to getting you back to living the life you love. Our team uses a global and holistic approach to address a person's unique health needs and empower them to take ownership of their recovery.
Weight management over weight loss!
Healthy eating and living is not a New Year’s fad! Weight management is about long-term health solutions, not just about the numbers on a scale. Naturopathic Doctor Yousef Sadat-Nejad introduces a nutrition program where he can coach you through long-term, sustainable strategies that are evidence-based and personalized to your specific health and lifestyle needs.
