Hey, hey hey! We are so excited to share the addition of our newest team member.

Welcome to the team, Dr. Patrick Determan!

A little about Dr. Patrick:

Dr. Patrick brings extensive post-graduate training in functional neurology, sports performance, and rehabilitation. With multiple advanced certifications, he has invested years into deepening his understanding of how the brain and body work together to function, adapt, and heal.

His clinical approach is thoughtful, thorough, and results-driven, always looking beyond symptoms to uncover the root cause. Whether he’s working with athletes striving for peak performance or individuals navigating more complex neurological challenges, his care is precise, individualized, and grounded in excellence.

What stands out most is the respect he carries among his professional peers, which is a reflection not only of his knowledge, but of his character and commitment to serving others well.

We are truly grateful to have him on our team and cannot wait for you to experience his care firsthand.

Dr. Patrick will be providing patient care and taking the sports performance and rehab portion of our practice to the next level, so be on the lookout for good things to come there!

Help us give Dr. Patrick a warm welcome!

If you'd like to book with him, give us a call or book online today!

Have you noticed your baby prefers turning their head to one side, tilts their head, or seems stiff in their neck? This may be something called torticollis, and it’s more common than many parents realize.

Torticollis refers to tightness or imbalance in the neck muscles that limits a baby’s ability to move their head freely. It often develops in infancy and can be influenced by:
• Positioning in the womb
• Birth mechanics or delivery stress
• Muscle tightness or joint restriction
• Favoring one side during feeding or sleep

While torticollis is often first noticed because of head tilt or flattening of the head, it’s important to understand that it’s not just a cosmetic or visual issue, it can affect critical neurological input when the developing baby needs it most.

In the early months of life, babies learn through motion—turning their head toward sound, tracking faces, orienting their eyes, and exploring their environment. Repeated head rotation from side to side is not incidental; it is a critical neurological input.

Just as cross-crawling integrates the left and right hemispheres of the brain, symmetrical head movement helps build balanced neural pathways. When an infant cannot fully turn their head, their brain receives incomplete and asymmetrical sensory information. Over time, this may influence:

Visual tracking and eye coordination
Body awareness and sensory integration
Motor milestone development
Postural patterns and balance
This is why “waiting to see if it resolves” can be risky. The brain does not pause development, it adapts around the restriction.

The good news? With early awareness and gentle, supportive care, torticollis can often be addressed successfully and help babies move more freely and comfortably as they grow.

In the coming few weeks, we’ll be sharing more about:
✨ Why movement matters for brain development
✨ Gentle treatment options
✨ What parents can do at home
✨ When to seek care

If you have questions or concerns about your baby’s movement, we’re always here to help 🤍

We are so excited to share something new with our community—something that has been thoughtfully prayed over, designed with intention, and built around you. As most of our community knows, we've offered fitness classes over the past couple of years... but we've always held the strong belief that this space is made for a different kind of fitness space.

We heard the stories.
Women who felt uncomfortable in crowded gyms.
Mothers who wanted to move their bodies without pressure or comparison.
Individuals restarting their health journey who needed encouragement—not judgment.

So we created something different.

Our new concept of boutique, private fitness is officially here, and it stands apart from the traditional gym experience in every way.

Our studio is private and bookable, meaning you can reserve the space for yourself or with a small group of friends. There are no phones, no cameras, and no influencer culture—just a calm, supportive environment where you can focus on your health without distraction. No waiting for equipment. No feeling watched. Just movement that feels safe, empowering, and personal.

Private. Personal. Pressure-free.

Our boutique fitness studio is now open—book it for yourself or with friends and enjoy a safe, camera-free workout space with expert guidance from doctors who are also fitness professionals.

This is fitness done differently.

A thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us.

Each November, we take time to reflect, pray and sit in gratitude at the blessings we have here at Healthy Start. And every year we get to hear from our families in the practice at what they are grateful for with our gratitude pumpkin.
As I took the gratitude pumpkin out today, I couldn't help but smile at all the different things people have been thankful for over the years.

"Lafftr" was my favorite today.
But "p**p" is a close second. When it comes to health, p**p matters.

Always be joyful.
Never stop praying.
Be thankful in all circumstances 1 Thes 5:16-18
