Six Elements of Loo Movement
Loo Movement is integrative and draws from six complementary practices. The process is different for everyone, and changes as you progress.
Alignment Coaching
Skeletal misalignment leads to stress on your joints. When you learn to sense optimal alignment, you can protect your joints from excessive wear and tear, which leads to smoother movement, less pain, as well as greater strength and flexibility.
Pilates
Joseph Pilates designed special equipment to teach the body to move from the core. When using the machines consistently, most people gain better control after they feel the body re-organize itself.
Integrative Physical Therapy
As a licensed physical therapist with over 20 years of exprerience, Valerie focuses on working with the whole person, helping clients to understand the root causes of their dysfunction. She collaborates with her clients with a holistic and creative approach, teaching them to advocate for their body.
Yoga
Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice. It improves flexibility, balance, and strength, as well as helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
Qigong
Qigong is a Traditional Chinese Medicine health practice that combines gentle, slow movements, focused meditation, and tranquil breathing. This harmonizing practice improves the flow of Qi energy in the body, and helps to connect body and mind more deeply.
Intuitive Bodywork
Our bodies respond well to touch, whether it’s a gentle manual cue, a soft-tissue release, or an alignment correction. Valerie is trained in various hands-on therapies, including craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, and reiki energy work.
