About

Perhaps you're having a hard time deciding on exactly what to try first or maybe you've already tried various treatments but you're still in pain. Many of our clients find us after their physician or Dr. Google told them "you just need to rest, " but rest alone wasn't the answer and every time they tried to be active again, the pain would return.

Low Back Pain
Report
How to put an end to back pain and stiffness-without surgery, dangerous painkillers, or having to go to months and months of treatments just to. Learn how to start treating it while avoiding the doctor's office and without painkillers, shots, or dangerous back surgery. If you have lower back pain, stiffness, or aches, it's very tempting to think that it will go away on its own.
Runners and Triathletes
Report
Have you been told that running is bad for you? Or, "You're getting older, you might want to try something else." Or have you tried resting but only flared your injury when you tried to get back into your routine(Because resting didn't get at why you hurt in the first place). Have you tried any number of stretches from YouTube, muscle rubs, copper braces, orthotics, or ever more expensive shoes?.
Exercise Injuries
Report
Whether it's knees that bark at you when you squat or shoulders that you can't sleep on after a chest day, there are many ways that not having good form can make you feel worse rather than better after a day in the gym. Often strength problems are stretched and mobility problems have weights thrown at them.

I was in Army ROTC at Florida State University (about to graduate and commission) this past spring when I started having hip pain that prohibited me from exercising and even walking to class, which debilitated my training. I noticed it during my daily run when I had to fall out, and I called to Body Mechanix that morning and Dr. Brandon saw me that same day. I had a 12 mile ruck (a 12 mile hike with a 40 pound bag) and a physical fitness test coming up and Dr. Brandon was able to pin point the origin of my pain within the second session. Although I wasn’t fully healed for the ruck (considering

A couple of years ago I sprained my knee while training. My knee would buckle if I tried to bear weight on it, or do any kind of twisting motion. I waited 3 months before seeking any help. I was hoping that time would help heal it, and it did, but I noticed I needed something more. Because of the sprain I couldn’t train or teach properly and being a Martial Arts business owner this was really bad.
Going to Dr. Alkire was the best decision. He helped me understand why I had sprained my knee in the first place, and where my weaknesses are. As an athlete this kind of information is invaluable.

Before going to therapy I could barely stay seated in the same position for too long, including driving for more than 2 hours straight. I had to bare several years of pain until my first appointment, my lower back pain was less intense. The therapy provided me strengthening exercises, instead of typical medication, to ease my pain. Highly recommended, in a few session I was able to be back to normal from my lower back injury.

This is a great place!!! I went here after having some knee pain while training martial arts. Dr. Alkire was tremendously helpful in immediately diagnosing my issue (hip instability), and then devising a plan of care to correct first the muscular imbalance, and then the neurological implementation, explaining every step along the way! He watched my movements and helped correct any poor form on my part, as well as gave me pointers on what to emphasize in the movement and what specifically to avoid. I can not recommend this place enough!!!

After 20 plus years of being in pain with my back and neck, I decided to see Dr. Brandon. I had tried everything before and nothing seemed to work or it would work for a short time and then I was in pain again. I liked that his program was meant to only include limited visits. Dr. Brandon gives you the knowledge to keep healthy long after your visit's end. I went from being out a week in pain to only about a day and I'm able to stop the pain myself without pills or office visits. Thanks to Dr. Brandon for helping me to enjoy life pain free!

About a year ago I fell off a pair of gymnastics rings as I was performing a toe hang and landed in a seated L position. I injured my low back/glute area around my SI joint. It was an awful fall and I ignored the trauma that it caused the muscles surrounding that area. I began noticing a lot of imbalances and pain when I sat or stretched a certain way. I constantly felt like something was locked in the wrong place and had to compensate by cracking my low spine. I thought it would get better with time, but I was only further delaying my recovery.

Dr. Brandon is the best of the best! At our very first, introductory visit (which he didn't even charge us for) I didn't really know what to expect, nor did I have much hope for improvement in my child's condition. I was amazed! My 5 year old son entered the building hobbling like Quasimodo, and walked out looking almost as though he had never had an injury at all! In just three short but thorough visits, my little guy is back to running and playing even better and faster than before he received his injury. With each visit, Dr. Brandon made it very easy to understand what was causing my son's limp
