Our process

Where Healing Meets Intention

At Anima Movement Center, we pride ourselves on being more than just a chiropractic office — we’re a true healing space. Everything we do is designed to support deep, lasting healing rooted in connection, movement, and care.

the first step

The Healing Begins as You Walk In

The moment you step inside, something shifts. The jungle-like energy grounds you. The music moves you. The nervous system starts to settle. This isn’t your standard chiropractic clinic — this is a space designed to help you feel at ease.

Even before your session begins, your body starts to unwind.

Welcomed by Elizabeth

The Healing Continues

You’ll be greeted by Elizabeth at the front desk — calm, kind, and present.

She’s more than a receptionist — she’s a movement specialist who also teaches yoga and sound healing at Anima. From your first visit, you’ll feel supported by someone who understands the body and the journey.

The Movement Screen

Seeing the Whole Picture

Every new practice member starts with a full-body movement assessment.

We check your posture, test your overhead squat, and observe how your body moves as a whole.

This step is vital — it gives us real insight into your structure, stability, and what might be holding you back.

The Consultation

Your Story Matters

Next, you’ll sit down with Dr. Bo to go over your health history, movement background, and personal goals.

This isn’t a rushed intake — it’s a real conversation.

Together, we set clear intentions for your care. And if we decide to move forward, know that we’re fully committed to helping you get there.

The Spinal Health Exam

Finding the Patterns

We’ll then assess your spine, range of motion, and any areas of tension or restriction.

We look for compensation patterns — the subtle ways your body has been adapting to stress, injury, or imbalance.

Report of Findings & First Adjustment

If you’ve been under chiropractic care before, we’re often able to adjust you on your first visit. For those new to chiropractic, we typically wait until your second visit — after we’ve gone over your full report.

This report includes your ANIMA Movement Score out of 100, breaking down where your body is out of alignment, where you’re compensating, and what ranges of motion need to be restored. We believe informed patients get better results — so we take the time to explain everything clearly before we begin care.

Beginning Your Care

Real Healing Takes Time

Once care begins, we focus on correcting the root cause — not just managing symptoms. For most chronic cases, the healing path takes 3 to 6+ months, depending on your history and goals.

Along the way, you’ll receive corrective exercises, at-home tools, and movement homework to help your body heal more effectively between visits.

This is an active process — and we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Your First Movement Class: On Us

Every new practice member receives one free movement class — our gift to you.

These classes combine mobility, strength, breathwork, and nervous system regulation, all designed to help you move and feel better in your body.

Led by Dr. Bo, these sessions are where structure meets flow — improving posture, reducing stress, and reconnecting you with how your body is meant to move.

It’s more than just a workout. It’s part of your healing.

Supportive Therapies to Accelerate Healing

To support your progress, we offer a range of therapies that work alongside your adjustments:

  • Stretch Therapy to release tension and improve flexibility
  • Cold Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation and speed up tissue healing
  • Spinal Decompression to relieve pressure on discs and nerves

These therapies aren’t just add-ons — they’re powerful tools to help you heal faster, move better, and feel more balanced along the way.

Progress Check-Ins

Stay on Track, Stay Empowered

Every 12 visits, we re-assess your ANIMA Movement Score to track your progress and make sure your care is delivering real results.

Whether you're healing an injury, rebuilding your posture, or optimizing long-term wellness — we’re here to guide and support you.

Your journey is unique, and we’re committed to helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
