Was great working with Conor. Super knowledgeable and very attentive to his clients. Worked with him for 2 sessions and saw notable changes and most felt better. He really embraces the concept of helping people understand their bodies and why they’re doing these things to lead to long term changes rather than “quick fix” stuff. Use his exercises and think about doing them as “practicing” and “learning” and it’ll be well worth it. 5 stars for sure

I traveled from Toronto, Canada to San Diego specifically to see Conor after more than a decade of movement dysfunction & pain that was at times so intense that I couldn’t move at all and was sent to the emergency room. I’ve seen dozens of doctors, physical therapists, neurologists, orthopaedic surgeon, chiropractors, osteopaths, rheumatologist, you name it. The change I felt in my body after just two sessions with Conor exceeded everything I experienced in all those years combined. He did more for me in these sessions than tens of thousands of dollars of previous treatment ever did. Conor has a deep (& in my opinion, rare) understanding of the human body. After so many years of trying to find the source of my issues, I learned to give lots and lots of details to describe exactly what was happening inside my body during different movements. Most practitioners would take in SOME of what I was saying but I could always tell when they were disregarding certain sensations I was describing, glossing over it, or simply not understanding. Conor is the only person who has taken every single random comment/ body sensation that I share and says “It’s good that you told me that.” And then he explains exactly why I feel what I feel, what it means, and how it connects to the rest of my body. As someone who has spent years trying to understand my own issue, this level of knowledge, clarity, and ability to translate complex concepts into something I can understand and actually feel in my body is invaluable. I see what I went through as a gift because I got to experience in my 20s what life is like with limited mobility. I learned firsthand how much the loss of movement shrinks your world, and I got to decide young that investing in my health will always be my #1 priority. We want to live in a body we can use and be creative with. We don’t want to be in our 70s feeling trapped and like our body is a prison. So yeah all that said, coming here to was a worthy investment and I highly recommend! Conor, thank you!

Conor knows his stuff. I’ve had lower back pain for 20 months. But after seeing Conor and getting specific corrective exercises for my body, I am experiencing lasting relief for the first time in 20 months. I would highly recommend Conor!

As other reviews have said, This might have been the best decision I have ever made, over 8 years of pain and issues with my body were basically gone. Just have to do my exercises. Connor is great and extremely knowledgable. I would recommend a visit to everyone.

Probably the best decision of my life. Have been experiencing hip and ankle pain for 2 years. Went to every doctor and pt I can, nothing helped at all! Coming here to see Conor was life changing for me. The fact that I could wake up and go about my day with no pain, I never thought that was possible especially after 2 years of discomfort and pain. Definitely check them out. They breakdown the science behind movement and alignment.
