a big giveaway
a HUGE clinic update we are stoked to finally share
and a ton of upcoming events to keep your eyes on
Starting with the most important news…
We are thrilled to announce a huge upgrade to the I.MOVE. team.
This year has been incredible. We have had more people than ever ready to commit to their health, take ownership of their bodies, and put in the work to stay active long-term.
Many of you know that we have been working hard — and often working overtime — to prevent waitlists and make sure people can get the care they need when they need it.
After months of searching for the right fit, the wait is finally over.
Please help us welcome Dr. Austin Palmer to the I.MOVE. team!
Dr. Austin has been in practice for several years and has traveled all over the state providing care before deciding to plant his feet here in the Portland area. He was looking for the most integrative, growth-focused opportunity he could find, and we are fired up to have him at I.MOVE.
HUGE RAFFLE - STARTS NOW!
We are also doing something big to say thank you for helping us grow the I.MOVE. community, and to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary.
We are giving away a brand newConcept2 BikeErg. Yes — the real deal. The same kind of machine that can absolutely humble you in five minutes or become one of the best tools in your training routine.
To enter is simple: refer someone to I.MOVE.
That’s it. If you know someone who has been dealing with pain, avoiding certain workouts, frustrated by recurring injuries, or ready to finally take their health more seriously, send them our way. Every referral gets you entered into the raffle. If you aren't a current patient - you can refer yourself ;)
UPCOMING EVENTS
Every month we host masterclasses, free for our community to help them get a better understanding of why they are still dealing with pain and flare-ups even after seeing other providers.
There is always something missing in these cases and that is exactly what we figure out together during these classes.
ALL CLASSES ARE LIMITED TO 15 PEOPLE!
2 spots left-- 6/16: Shoulder Pain Masterclass-- this one has been long awaited, and it's finally here! Our first-ever Shoulder Pain Masterclass is LIVE.

This Month's Wins:
The Value of Not Being Rushed
One thing we hear from patients all the time is:
"I can't believe how rushed I used to feel."
Many people come to us after years of bouncing from appointment to appointment, getting a few minutes with a provider, being told to rest, stretch, take medication, or stop doing the activities they love.
The problem is that lasting solutions rarely fit into a five-minute conversation.
This month, we watch done patient deadlift from the floor for the first time in years after avoiding the movement out of fear that their back would give out.
Another returned to full CrossFit classes without having to modify workouts around shoulder pain.
And one runner crossed the finish line of a half marathon pain-freeafter spending months wondering if racing was something they'd ever be able to do again.
Those results don't happen because of a magic exercise or a quick adjustment.
They happen because someone finally took the time to listen, understand the whole story, identify the real barriers holding them back, and create a plan that made sense for their goals.
Pain can make your world smaller. Our job is to help make it bigger again.
That's why we do things differently.
That's why we take our time.
