Who Dr. Chris Works With
Dr. Chris works with people who want to keep doing the things they love:
Active adults and lifters who want to train with confidence
Athletes who want to understand how they move and build from there
People who feel like they've tried everything and want someone to look at the whole system
Postpartum women returning to exercise, lifting and everyday strength
If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
How Dr. Chris Works: From Your Brain to Your Body
When your brain feels safe, your body moves better. That idea shapes everything she does. Her approach is nervous system-informed: instead of only chasing the spot that hurts, she wants to understand how your brain, body and movement are working together.
Chiropractic adjustments and hands-on care are part of the toolbox too, but they're one tool among several. She’ll explain what she is seeing and why, in plain language, so you understand the plan and can take an active role in it.
Assess. Start with the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), a structured way of looking at how you move and where things break down.
Stabilize. Next comes stability work drawn from Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), focusing on breathing, bracing and how your body controls position.
Retrain. Neurotraining is one of the tools she uses. We test a movement, try a targeted drill for your eyes, balance or body awareness, then retest to see how your body responds. Learn more about neurotraining (link to /neurotraining-kelowna).
Load. Then we build strength with progressive loading that fits your goals, whether that's a barbell, a golf swing or lifting your kids.
Your First Visit
Your first appointment is an initial assessment of at least 60 minutes. We'll go over your history and goals, assess how you move, include neurotraining where it helps, and leave with a clear plan.

Looking for ongoing strength and lifestyle coaching? STRONG is Move RX’s online coaching program. It gives you a training plan built around your goals, weekly video check-ins and on going support and accountability from all through and app!
Outside the Clinic
Before golf, there was the barbell. Dr. Chris competed in Olympic style weightlifting, including Team BC at the Western Weightlifting Championships and Canadian Senior National Championships, and played varsity soccer. These days she's chasing a single-digit golf handicap, which keeps her humble. You'll also find her with her husband enjoying the Okanagan, and still lifting heavy things.
Move better, feel better, perform better. If you're ready to start, book your initial assessment.
