.PROFICIENT ORTHOPEDICS.
BIO
Founder and lead instructor Adrienne Jackman has had a wide breadth of experience with the human form-whether it be performing in dance troupes as a child, re-creating the body through drawing and sculpting, or treating the body with massage and exercise therapy. Her passion for studying the human body has never been quenched. That passion translates into the classroom and is shared enthusiastically with students! Adrienne believes that the key to identifying and correcting disfunction is first understanding proper form and function.

Adrienne has a keen interest in orthopedic and rehabilitative treatment. Since completing her foundational training in 2005, her Continuing Education has spanned from rehabilitation of Spinal Cord Injuries, to Osteopathic Mobilizations and Fascial Release, to Movement and Exercise Therapy.
