"Combining Your Minds Goals with your Body's Function"
The BodyClox System, developed by Mark C. Marino, helps maximize function in the musculoskeletal system while enhancing the individual's body/mind awareness. Both a philosophy and a system, BodyClox draws from such disciplines as PNF (Proprioception Neuromuscular Facilitation), The Institute of Physical Art (Gregg & Vicky Johnson), osteopathic, Feldenkrais, yoga, and tai chi. BodyClox offers a combination of manual treatment, therapeutic and motion awareness exercises, and a home exercise system to help individuals regain their function and alleviate acute and chronic pain. Developed from a combination of Mark's training in manual orthopedic physical therapy with his own experience recovering from serious orthopedic injuries, the BodyClox system focuses on techniques that help to normalize the musculoskeletal system while enhancing the individual’s kinesthetic awareness, neuromuscular control and ability to eliminate pain. Our team of skilled therapists will help you optimize your function and return you to and independent life without pain.
"Combining Evidence-based and Innovative Manual Techniques"
Proprioception is the sense that detects bodily position and Kinesthesia is the sense that detects the body's movement of joints, tendons and muscles. In essence, it is our mind's connection to our body and how it moves. When our body is injured our proprioceptive and kinesthetic ability becomes impaired. It becomes difficult for us to identify our postural position and coordinate movements. If these senses are not working properly your body will have difficulty resuming physical activities and can lead to future breakdown.
Our training incorporates Proprioceptive and Kinesthetic exercises into your physical therapy rehabilitation. By retraining and improving these senses, your body can become more efficient during coordinated activity and can help prevent future injuries. The enhancement of your body's awareness plays a major role in overall coordination of movement, core stabilization, balance and control leading to a more balanced musculoskeletal system.
The BodyClox Home Exercise systemTM improves the ability for the individual to take control of their rehab and decreases the chances of exacerbation. Features of the system allow the individual to track their home exercises, which improves compliancy, motivates people to continue an exercise program after physical therapy, and improves their overall wellness.
