Joint Effort Movement Center

🚫 "Sit up straight!" 🚫 "Shoulders back!"

We’ve all heard these cues, but are they really helping your posture? 🤔 It’s time to rethink what we know about good posture. Spoiler: sitting up straight might not be the best advice after all...

Discover why neutral posture—aligning your rib cage and pelvis—is the key to supporting your core and preventing back pain. Your body will thank you!

🌟 What is Postural Restoration (PRI)? 🌟

Postural Restoration, or PRI, is a revolutionary approach to improving the way your body moves and functions! 🙌 By focusing on how your body’s natural asymmetries can impact posture, PRI helps balance muscles, reduce pain, and improve overall movement patterns.

It’s all about *restoring balance* to your body’s natural alignment, helping you move more efficiently and pain-free. And yes, sometimes this means you get to blow up balloons 😬🎈

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, looking to improve athletic performance, or just want to move better in daily life, PRI can help you feel stronger and more balanced!

Are you a mental health counselor, nutritionist, or esthetician looking for a small space in an amazing work environment?! This is for you - Joint Effort Movement Center is expanding our space! 🔨🥳

We have two small rooms that are available starting April 1st and are looking for some exceptional services to add to our center on a sublet contract. An ideal sublet candidate offers services that complement our existing services at JEMC and create cross referrals across both businesses.

Rooms are approximately 7'5"x 9'5" and are connected to a larger open area that will be used for Pilates classes. Asking $450/month.

Our ideal providers:
🔹Nutritionist
🔹Counselor/mental health professional
🔹Esthetician
🔹IV Hydration therapy
🔹Wellness professional that works virtually

*We are unable to accept applications for physical therapist, massage therapist, acupuncturist, reflexologist, or Pilates instructor as they will compete with our current services.

The sublet contract rental is for one year. Rooms are unfurnished, but have new flooring and paint (and maybe some board and batten!) Pictures shown are from the initial walk through/PRE-renovation. There are laundry services available on-site. Wi-fi and utilities included. We can provide your linens for an additional fee per month.

If you are starting out your business, or are a solopreneur looking to be in a casual-but-professional, patient centering, integrative and fun environment, then JEMC just might be your calling! If interested, please call 843.790.4515!
