Synergy Neck & Shoulder 4 Week Program

Synergy Sports Medicine was born out of one question: "Why are motivated patients, after years of 'traditional' rehab methods, unable to get better?"

Dr. Raza Awan wasn't satisfied with the idea that some patients get better while others simply don't. After years of exploring different treatments on himself and his patients, he noticed a common thread: lack of good movement instruction was holding his patients back from complete recovery. 

When Dr. Awan began to incorporate the practices of Pilates teacher, Riki Richter, he immediately saw great improvement in his own condition, as well as the recovery of his patients.

In 2011, Dr. Raza Awan and Riki Richter joined forces and opened Synergy Sports Medicine where they created a new, comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach that unifies movement therapy with clinical treatment: Movement-Based Rehabilitation. Dr. Awan tracked common deficits found with his patients and Riki Richter programmed exercises based on these common deficits and created Synergy Movement Therapy.Movement- Based Rehabilitation (MBR) combines Pilates and specialized, exercise-based rehab classes with sports medicine. MBR changes the way patients heal because it changes the way they move. MBR builds body awareness and it reduces the chance of recurring injuries.

This course is taught by Riki Richter, Synergy Movement Therapy Director and Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. The exercises are demonstrated by Lolli Ursomarzo, Synergy Movement Therapist.
