The CHEK Principles:
Founded by Paul CHEK, the CHEK Institute is driven by the vision of harnessing six foundational principles to facilitate healing within the body. These principles encompass breathing, movement, hydration, nutrition, sleep, and thinking. Through the CHEK program, a highly effective methodology has been developed to assess your body's needs and establish their priority for genuine healing. Regardless of your specific ailment, be it a back injury or challenges with sleep and nutrition, adopting the CHEK approach allows us to uncover the root cause of dysfunction, pain, or injury, and instigate lifestyle adjustments for sustainable positive transformation.A Holistic Perspective:
CHEK professionals are certified specialists in corrective exercise and high-performance kinesiology, which is the in-depth study of human movement. They adopt a comprehensive viewpoint of your body by first assessing and then addressing the underlying causes of your symptoms. This assessment leads to a tailored exercise regimen designed exclusively for you.Postural and Orthopedic Evaluation:
