Movement and eating disorder recovery.
Helping clients approach movement and exercise from a space of self-compassion
Our approach to movement.
At Alsana, we believe in treating all aspects of the mind and body to achieve a full and balanced recovery. The Movement dimension of our Adaptive Care Model® is built on evidence-based treatment that helps clients redefine their relationships with physical activity. Our movement program enables clients to listen and respond to their bodies as they build a strong foundation of body awareness.
The Alsana difference.
We embrace safe and healthy movement as part of the recovery process. Whether it’s walking your dog, exercising, or spending time with loved ones outdoors, movement is vital in leading healthy and fulfilling lives and a key aspect of recovery. We understand the importance of engaging in different types of physical activity and will teach you how to integrate more movement into your life on a regular basis.
