Who We Are
At Move Muscle & Joint, everything begins with clarity — in diagnosis, in movement, and in purpose.
We believe great care is not rushed, fragmented, or reactive. It is intentional. Every session is designed to understand how your body moves, where it's compensating, and what's limiting long-term performance.
Our clinicians combine hands-on chiropractic care, myofascial release therapy, targeted rehab, and real-world movement training inside a modern gym-based setting. This integrated approach allows us to address pain at the source — not just manage symptoms.
We don't chase temporary relief. We build durable movement. Care at Move is one-on-one, outcome-driven, and designed around how you live, work, and train in our community. From desk professionals in Overland Park to active adults across Kansas City, our goal is the same: help you move with confidence today and resilience tomorrow.
Movement is not a luxury. It's the foundation.
