The BodyFix Method™ Team
Personalized Exercise Therapy To Restore Balance & Eliminate Pain Without Surgery in South Florida
EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST, FOUNDER & CREATOR OF BODYFIX METHOD™
Bill Boland MS, CES, PAS, CPFT, NMP
Bill created Bodyfix Method™ almost twenty years ago because he was in pain and couldn’t find a way out. There were many options, but none treated the cause of his pain. It took him two years of research to put together what worked for him, a series of restorative exercises focused on joint alignment and the body’s natural mechanics. He set out to create a framework for healing that would be accessible to everyone.
Bill’s educational background is in biology, chemistry, and kinesiology. His avocations are competitive sports, yoga, and athletic training. He was blessed to learn yoga with Beryl Bender Birch and Sharon Gannon, finding a path that is still a part of his life and a basis of Bodyfix Method™ today.
Bill has earned certifications as a Clinical Exercise Specialist, as an Egoscue Method™ Postural Alignment Specialist, as a specialist in Muscle Energy Techniques™, and in Muscle Activation Techniques™. He is trained in Strain Counterstrain therapy, Spinal Manipulation studies with Jeff Maitland, and work with several practitioners of soft tissue manual therapy. He treated hundreds of individuals in pain at the Pain Management & Rehabilitation Medical Services, one of New York’s most highly praised remedial clinics, before establishing his own practice. He has studied with Leon Chaitow, DO; he has worked with Tom Purvis, earning an Resistance Training Specialist designation, and has worked with Tom Ockler, PT in his seminars integrating Muscle Energy Techniques using articular surfaces.
Bodyfix Method™ offers not one road to eliminating pain, but several, drawing on the skills and diverse techniques learned by its therapists. Bodyfix Method™ is not just physical therapy, but a vital, organic service continuously integrating several healing methodologies to bring relief and eliminate pain.
