Everything begins with a free conversation. From there, the path depends on what you need — in-person or remote.
Start here
A focused conversation about where you are and what you need. We determine the right path together — in-person care or remote Functional Longevity Consulting.
Your evaluation or first session
In-person: Functional Longevity Evaluation (75 min) — the clinical foundation for dry needling and PT. Remote: your first Functional Longevity Consulting session, mapping all four pillars to your life.
Your plan
You leave every first appointment with a written plan — not a protocol. What happens next is determined by your evaluation, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Different formats. The same clinical framework. Choose what fits your life.
Hands-on physical therapy and functional dry needling for active adults, athletes, and anyone dealing with pain, movement restriction, or injury. All in-person care begins with the Functional Longevity Evaluation.
A whole-person consulting framework for individuals who want to build health as a long-term system — not just address what hurts. We work through all four pillars: movement, nutrition, recovery, and community. No geography required.

Performance & Training
In-person performance programming, HYROX preparation, running coaching, and strength training — available at a future Movement Clinic location. Stay tuned via Instagram @mvmtclinicpt.
The starting point for all in-person care. A 75-minute one-on-one clinical assessment that builds a complete picture of your body and your life — across five domains. This is where dry needling, movement programming, and your personal Functional Longevity plan all begin.
The evaluation is also the clinical foundation of the Functional Longevity Model applied to you specifically. Not a generic protocol — a clinical roadmap built from your data.
What the evaluation covers
Required before dry needling. Covers movement, strength, mobility, balance, and lifestyle. You leave with a written clinical plan. Everything that follows is built on this foundation.

The clinical and philosophical framework behind every evaluation, every consulting session, and every care plan in this practice.
01
Train, load, and build capacity with intention and science. Strength is not optional for longevity — it is the primary intervention. VO₂max and muscle mass are your most powerful longevity biomarkers.
02
Create the internal environment that supports healing and performance. Food is not simply fuel — it is the environment your body heals in. Protein, inflammation, and gut health determine your recovery ceiling.
03
Convert training stress into adaptation through sleep and restoration. Without recovery, there is no progress — only accumulated load. Sleep architecture, HRV, and stress physiology are measurable and improvable.
04
Build the social environment that sustains everything else. Social isolation carries a mortality risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Environment shapes identity. Identity shapes behavior.
Foundation
Lifestyle
The daily habits, environment, and identity that determine whether the pillars hold. You cannot out-train a lifestyle that works against you. The foundation is built first — or rebuilt, one decision at a time.
Evidence-based writing on movement, longevity, pain science, nutrition, and recovery — rooted in the clinical framework behind this practice.
The medical system targets lifespan. Functional Longevity targets something more important — the ability to keep doing what matters, with strength and independence, for as long as possible.

Read article → Pain SciencePain is not an accurate measure of damage. Understanding how your nervous system actually produces pain changes everything about how you approach movement, recovery, and fear of injury.

I built this practice around a single conviction: health is built deliberately, inside a lifestyle system that either supports you or slowly works against you. The Functional Longevity Model is that system — applied to real people with real goals.

— Dr. O · The Functional Longevity ModelIn addition to clinical and consulting care, this practice extends free physical therapy to individuals who face barriers to access — quietly, because it is the right thing to do.
