Our Approach

Meant To Be Vital

​All individuals are either actively living or passively dying. If our movement patterns are not building us up, they are breaking us down. Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions affect our physical body as well, impacting how we move, and how often. What ails an individual can be found, felt, and fixed.

The Alston Method

The Alston Method Movement Screen is the basis of our work. The method is designed to meet any human where he or she is. 
The method keeps individuals fit and well, with oxygen incorporated throughout the whole body. 
We use the Alston Method to guide individuals through eight essential movements which allows us to understand where blood flow and oxygen are being impeded. After these movements are analyzed, the individual is given an exercise prescription to reintroduce dissected patterns and restore function and vitality. 

Personalized Treatment

​We work creatively with our clients and their doctors to configure an individualized approach as each individual has unique physical, psychological, and emotional needs. By integrating essential movements into individuals life and lifestyle, the individual can rewind accumulated dysfunction, eliminate disease, and restore function and vitality. 
Through our work, we help individuals become thriving, vital beings with the functional bodies they were intended to have. 

Personalized Movement Screen
​Our screening method is applicable to and works with people of all ages, can be done in-person or virtually, and treats specific risks and symptoms in addition to being universally preventative in nature.

After one session of micro movement patterns and the results were immediate. These finely designed 8 movement patterns, “The Alston Method” reprogrammed my body and brain. The blurriness in my eyes, numbness, weakness and tingling was all gone. I got my life back and with the simplest system to do so. Thank you Joseph.

Antoine's technique is not similar to physical therapy exercises but rather more about slowly changing positions of parts of the body, breathing in new conscious ways, becoming aware of posture & blood circulation. He is an incredible healer and I am grateful he is here to help me.

Why a Movement Screen? 

​​The movement screen helps us get familiar with you, your body, and your movement patterns. During your screening, we use our own unique method called the Alston Method - a series of eight basic essential movements, to assess how you move.  
​After going through our screening, you and your doctor will know what physical ailments or patterns are affecting your overall health and well-being, as well as our recommendation to restore function and vitality moving forward.

The Screening Session

Each Screening is a 50 minute session wherein we will get to know you, your circumstances, and get a chance to familiarize ourselves with your body and movement patterns. For individuals who are healthy, the screening helps us identify and assess asymmetries that could lead to injury and disease. For individuals suffering from chronic pain, disease, and other health related issues, the screen helps us identify the link between your pain, disease, or issue and your physical body so we can begin to treat it. 

Joseph’s work with my mother was nothing short of extraordinary. She has Parkinson’s and used a walker at the start and now most often goes without. It is simply remarkable. I could not say enough good things about Joseph Antoine Alston.

After your movement screen, we'll discuss how a movement treatment plan could benefit you and your needs. You might opt to not continue and that is ok because even with a movement screen you will gain insight into your particular movement pattern and how it impacts your health unlocking paths to optimization.

If you decide to move forward with a treatment plan we will work with you on either a regular or as-needed basis. In our sessions we will guide your body into neutral and functional movement patterns using our method and your own intuitive neuromuscular feedback.We currently see clients in person as well as virtually, where you can be treated from the comfort of your own home. 

He has a holistic approach to body mechanics. Alston is teaching people physical ways in which to center. A concept, a belief system, that if you align your mind and body, this is where health lies.
