Preventative Medicine

Over the last twenty years mind/body practices and alternative therapies have moved closer and closer to the mainstream. Today, yoga centers rival gyms for membership. Walk past many parks in the early morning and you are likely to see groups of people doing tai chi with its beautiful flowing patterns. Disciplines that integrate these practices into our daily lives have paved the way for a new field of integrative health. Better self-awareness is a key to the future as we confront an ever more certain health care crisis. At The FitzGordon Method we offer people the message that the more we know our bodies and the way they work, the easier it will be to stay out of the doctor’s office. A taste for softer and more reflective exercise has fueled this interest. As our health care costs soar and the crisis looms larger upon us, preventative medicine must become the paradigm for the next century.
