I’m Dr. Alex Sandrow. I work at the intersection of manual medicine, movement science, and functional health.
This work is about restoring joint integrity, improving tissue adaptation, and rebuilding the body’s ability to move with precision and control. Whether we’re working with shoulder position, hip mobility, or ankle function—every session is designed to create space, then teach your system how to own it.
Because long-term resilience doesn’t come from force.
It comes from proprioception, neuromechanical input, and learning to control the range you’ve earned.

Shoulders
+
Thoracic integration
Tight overhead? Limited rotation? Trouble pressing, paddling, or holding form?
You’re not lacking strength—you’re lacking access.
When the thoracic spine locks down, your scapula stops moving fluidly and your brain starts compensating. The result? Overuse of the wrong tissues, reduced power output, and increased injury risk every time you reach, rotate, or press.
This work helps you reclaim shoulder motion from the inside out—restoring scapular rhythm, joint workspace, and nervous system trust in the movement.
Hip Control
+
Pelvic Rotation
Losing squat depth? Feeling tight in your low back or front hips? Struggling with ski turns or run cadence?
This usually isn’t a strength problem—it’s a control and capacity issue.
When your hips can’t rotate cleanly or your pelvis locks into compensation, your entire kinetic chain loses efficiency. You start bleeding energy and building tension where you shouldn’t.
We use precise inputs to free up capsular space and rewire control, so your hips can move without calling in backup from your knees or spine.
Ankle mobility
+
foot stability
Balance issues? Limited dorsiflexion? Chronic tweaks or stiffness in the lower leg?
Your feet are your foundation—and most people are building on instability.
When ankle mobility is limited or foot control is underdeveloped, everything above it starts to adapt. That’s how you end up with shin splints, calf tension, or slow erosion of balance and strength.
This work restores function at the base. We re-establish ankle joint freedom, teach your system how to control it, and start rebuilding from the ground up.
What happens
in a session
Each session is 45 minutes—long enough to do meaningful work, short enough to avoid overwhelming your system.
We start with a quick check-in to see where your body’s at. What’s changed? What’s holding? What’s still stuck? Then we move into what’s most appropriate for you that day.
If needed, manual techniques—including joint manipulation—are used to open a short window of opportunity. Think of it like unlocking a new temporary range—giving your body access to space it didn’t have a moment ago.
But we don’t stop there.
That new range isn’t useful unless your nervous system knows how to own it. So we back-end that manual work with targeted movement—often drawn from the Functional Range Conditioning system—to help your tissues stabilize and integrate the change.
You leave with more than relief.
You leave with access.
Sometimes, you’ll also leave with something simple to keep that access alive—one specific action, one intentional input that helps you integrate the work we’ve done. Not because it’s homework. But because control over the range you’ve earned is what allows you to stay out of harm’s way, move with more confidence, and make real progress between sessions.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about reinforcing what your body just proved it can do.
