what to expect

  1. Start with a FREE call with Dr. Allison to chat through your goals and see if we’re a good fit.

  2. Come in for a full-body eval. It’s the most thorough in RVA—we check strength, movement, and what’s really going on. We start a plan to get you feeling better on Day 1.

  3. Get a clear plan. After day one, you’ll already be on the path forward.

  4. Show up, do the work, get results. We’ll help you rebuild your movement and confidence—without the guesswork.

  • Text messaging and email support between sessions.
