She combines her experience in strength and conditioning with training in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) to develop comprehensive, caring, evidence-based treatment plans that help athletes move better, recover, and return to the activities they love. In her own words: “Everybody is an athlete and every body deserves thoughtful care.”
Dr. Nicolette Napier received her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology before spending countless hours in a combination Chiropractic and Physical Therapy clinic helping patient’s reduce their pain and improve their function through movement and exercise.

In her mind, there’s no better way to start your day than a sunrise run with friends, followed by a good coffee.
