Athletic Performance

Athletic Performance

Whether you're a competitive athlete, fitness enthusiast, or weekend hiker, staying active demands more than just willpower — it requires a body that moves efficiently and recovers quickly. Small imbalances can lead to tightness, strain, or injury, holding you back from your goals.

At ANIMA Movement Center, we specialize in helping athletes move better, feel stronger, and recover faster. Our San Diego-based team uses an integrative approach that enhances physical performance and supports long-term athletic health.

  • Sports-focused chiropractic care to improve spinal alignment and nerve communication
  • Joint mobilization and myofascial release for greater range of motion and flexibility
  • Injury recovery and prevention strategies tailored to your sport or activity
  • Neuromuscular re-education to improve coordination, posture, and movement patterns
  • Customized rehab plans that restore strength, balance, and confidence

Studies published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine have shown that athletes receiving regular chiropractic care demonstrate increased reaction time, strength, and flexibility — all key factors in peak athletic performance and injury prevention.
