You can describe what's going on, I'll describe how things at MedicinEvolution work, and with that we'll get a better sense of whether or not I think I can help. If I'm confident I can help you we'll book an in-person 1 hour assessment. In this assessment we'll put together your relevant health history, active and passive assessment results, and make sense of why you're experiencing symptoms.
You'll see the root cause of your problems and get some takeaways to begin to address your issues. Presuming that we're a good fit I'll give my recommendation for the program that I believe will help you get to the root of your problems, reconnect you to your body, and live pain-free!

So you're in pain. My question for you is, do you want to just treat the symptoms or do you want to understand the root causes and want to truly get out of pain? I promise both are possible. I understand that you may not be able to see that right now because the pain is unbearable. You just want to deal with the pain and root causes seem like they're gonna turn it into a long drawn out process.
Rolf Structural Integration (RSI) sets the standard for therapy in the massage and manual therapy profession, for that reason RSI is the foundation of practice here at MedicinEvolution. Your history coupled with our assessments will help you understand the root cause of your problems. Thorough assessments will make it clear if this work is right for you and whether or not I think I can help.
The core principle in MedicinEvolution is that we don't treat pain, we focus on the person. As neuroscience suggests pain is multifaceted. It can have a physical, emotional, or mental cause, or a mixture of causations. Each person is unique, and it's in understanding that uniqueness that gives us the quality of results that we constantly aim for.
Going downstairs was especially difficult and very painful. It sometimes took me minutes to stand up in the morning because my knees were so uncomfortable. This was almost certainly the result of heavy leg lifts and running 20 miles a week in fairly steep hills. Now, not only can I easily negotiate stairs again, but I have recently jogged with zero after effects, an outstanding improvement that simply wasn't possible before!

I had chronic low back pain for over 20 years and thought I had tried everything to fix it (including surgery), then someone encouraged me to seek out a rolfer, and I found Chris! He is a game changer. I am back to my athletic self, running 5k's and hiking up mountains again. Chris has taught me so much about how my body works-my habits, and how to change/adjust them to keep me aligned and feeling good. I always leave his sessions feeling both physically and mentally better (because he's also helped me learn to manage my emotional response to pain) and I often have 'homework' assignments that help

I worked with Chris through a specialized treatment program to work on "rolfing" or "structural integration." My wife has also worked with Chris through a similar process. I became more aware of the pain and tension in my body and what I could do about it. Chris' perspective is holistic and approaches the body as a system of physiology and how tension sits within the body. Chris is empathetic to his clients and communicates to them in a way that connects with them and allows them to communicate freely in return.

I've seen Chris for many years now. Within 5 sessions, he was able to help me recover from a chronic back injury, something no other practitioner before him had been able to do (I'd seen countless bodyworkers before him). He is intuitive, adaptable, personable, and sees results. I highly recommend his work if you are struggling with chronic pain or simply want to improve your posture and health!

I've had the 10 series with Chris and 2 more follow-ups. Chris is knowledgeable and keenly attentive, tuning to the body and adjusting as per the needs. As we went along on the journey, he progressed in his understanding and we were able to identify weaknesses over time, to which he provided suggestions/relief to the best of his ability.
Chris has an approach of a learner and seems to be exploring how to better his art - something I appreciate very much. I'd highly recommend Chris and do continue to look forward to ad-hoc visits with him.

Chris really knows what he is doing. I hurt my back working out and was in quite some pain; it hurt simply getting in and out of my car as well as walking. I found him on Yelp and read some of the fantastic reviews. I was looking for a massage to help relieve the pain, not for relaxation. Since he specializes in pain management and I needed an emergency same day appointment, I was so fortunate he had availability that worked with my schedule. Response to my inquiry was quick and easy. After a little bit of paperwork and some assessment of my body alignment (actually misalignment), he worked his

Chris is a pro and a true healer!
He has an amazing understanding of the human body both intuitively and technically, and he is clearly very passionate about what he does! I was only able to see Chris twice, because I met him not long before I moved out of state, but even in that short time he was able to drastically improve the chronic pain I've had in my right shoulder for the last two years. He not only alleviated the pain during the sessions, but gave me valuable feedback on my posture and body 'habits' that were aggravating the problem which I was able to use to continue the work on my own

Amazing. Best ever. Healing treatment. I have better mobility, less pain, better sleep and overall better disposition because I feel better. Roofers have a reputation for being painful treatment. Chris gets results and doesn’t inflict pain. I look forward to me sessions and feel so good when I walk out of the office. It’s a total body transformation with results that last. If you can’t get relief from your pain try Chris and you will be elated with the results.

I did a 5 session program with Chris, and boy am I glad I made that choice! Not only does Chris perform the body work with extreme detail, he is always open to share his wealth of knowledge regarding bodily structural integration, a concept I was not familiar with at all in the beginning. I came in with headaches and neck pain. At the end of the program, I think I not only came out of it feeling much better, but also gained so much knowledge on just why and how my body was acting the way it was and the necessary steps to take to correct it. Thank you so much Chris!

I have just finished 10 sessions with Chris, and I am going to continue my treatment with him because he is the best "healer" (I can't think of another word since he is not just a massagist) I have ever met! I can't even describe all the shifts and awareness that happened within my body and mindset ever since I started working with Chris. I did not only change my notion of pain, but I feel like I have started to function normally again! Chris is also very caring, accommodating and personable, always focused and committed on helping his clients, working around their schedule and making sure they

I have a history of scoliosis. I was diagnosed at age 11. It actually never gave me any problems until I was much older. I went to see Chris because my back went out when I went to bend forward. I had a lot of pelvic and sciatic pain. It was really affecting my work. I had a Rolfing session a few years ago. I wanted to find somebody in this field to help with my now, pelvic pain, and for my issues with scoliosis. This is not your typical deep tissue massage. It's much more than that. Chris is very knowledgeable about the human body and how it all works and functions together as a whole. He teaches
