Sound Familiar?

You're not broken. You're just undertreated.

Most athletes in Long Beach are caught in the same loop — passive treatment, temporary relief, back to square one. If any of these hit close to home, you're exactly who Athlete Lab - Performance Chiropractic was built for.

🔁Same Injury. Different Week.

You keep tweaking the same hip, shoulder, or ankle because nobody's addressed why it keeps breaking down — just where it hurts.

🛋️Passive Care That Goes Nowhere

You've been adjusted, iced, and taped — and you feel fine for a day or two. Then you're right back. Treatment that doesn't change how you move doesn't change the outcome.

📉Performance Is Slipping

You're not injured enough to stop, but something's off. Your jump feels flat, your hips are cranky, your output isn't matching your effort. That gap has a structural cause.

⏳You Shouldn't Have to Choose

Competing hard and feeling good in your body shouldn't be a tradeoff. You've been told to "rest more." What you actually need is to move better.

The Philosophy

Durability starts with mastering the foundational basics — not chasing symptoms.

That's not something I made up. It came from an 18-year NHL veteran and longtime LA Kings captain, who attributed his career longevity to one thing: mobility, breathing, and neural reset work — done consistently, done right.

That conviction is baked into every session at Athlete Lab - Performance Chiropractic. We don't patch you up and send you home. We reset your biomechanics, rebuild your movement patterns, and make sure your body can handle whatever you throw at it — next week and ten years from now.

PRI Trained

I built Athlete Lab - Performance Chiropractic because I kept watching athletes get the same story: "rest it, ice it, come back in two weeks." And two weeks later, nothing had changed — because nothing in how they moved had changed.

Over five years working with athletes from youth leagues to the professional level — hockey players, soccer players, volleyball athletes, weekend warriors — I've found that the root of almost every recurring injury is the same: unresolved asymmetry and poor movement patterning that passive treatment never touches.

My approach is built around that reality. Every session starts on the table with deep soft tissue work and structural adjustment, and finishes on the gym floor with active rehab that makes your new range of motion stick. PRI concepts, progressive loading, and real coaching — not a foam roller and a handout.

The Treatment Tool Kit

Every tool has
a reason to be here.

No generic protocols. What's used in your session depends on what your body actually needs to unlock performance.

Soft Tissue Work

Deep manual therapy, cupping, and instrument-assisted scraping to desensitize painful tissue and restore blood flow where it's been cut off.

Compression Therapy

RockFloss tissue band flossing to rapidly improve joint mechanics and reduce swelling or structural restriction that limits your range of motion.

PRI Resets

Postural Restoration Institute methodology targeting breathing mechanics, ribcage position, and neural patterns — getting your body out of the chronic asymmetry that drives injury.

Active Movement Rehab

Every session finishes off the table and on the gym floor — progressive mobility and strength drills designed to make your new range of motion permanent, not temporary.
