We help people in Chattanooga prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic problems such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and back pain.
Fear IS Defeatable
While it is true that your body is full of mystery, it is also true that the body functions on consistent and knowable laws. It is not your destiny to live in fear of your body, enslaved by anxiety. Seeking knowledge and understanding of the laws that govern your body will help you defeat fear.
Pain IS Manageable
We all know that pain is normal, but what about pain that doesn’t seem normal? Unfamiliar pain can be unsettling, especially if it doesn’t go away. Sometimes, simply understanding the cause of your pain can bring relief. However, sometimes pain doesn’t go away. Persistent, non-life threatening pain is called chronic pain and can be very discouraging. Yet, even chronic pain can be managed and does not have to dominate your life.
Health IS Obtainable
Although it is true that physical wellness can be enhanced by living in harmony with the laws that govern the body, perfect physical fitness is not a prerequisite to healthiness. Some of the healthiest people on earth live with great physical limitations. Every person can obtain health by faithfully nurturing all the elements of their person, that is the physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual.

“Every person, to the best of their ability, has the right and responsibility to be the steward of their own body. People are intelligent and capable and should be treated as such. Happiness is a byproduct of healthiness, and healthiness begins with the awareness that you are in charge of yourself and your choices matter.” – Jill
