How we work

We build a team around you

Avid’s professionals partner together in one office to uncover the root causes of your issue and then build a program WITH you that works FOR you. We also bring our team-based approach to offices by crafting sessions for employers to promote wellness and workplace injury prevention.

We direct rather than dictate

By using our expertise and experience, we can give you a range of options for recovery. Your customized program is based on what’s right for your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.

We help you complete the entire process

Just because you’re feeling better doesn’t always mean you ARE better. We don’t focus on band-aid solutions or promise magic bullets. Instead, we stay with you on your entire journey from injury or pain to full function.

We work with your busy schedule

Whether you need a full in-person assessment in the clinic or a quick video chat, we can use a mix of times and styles that work best for you. We make realistic recommendations for the most efficient way to receive care.
