Sankofa Moves was created from Dr. Chaney’s vision of a healthier community. Once the vision was clear, the question arose about what steps were needed to bring this into reality. As he explored his own values and experience, the experiences of people that he worked with, and the community at large, he acknowledged a few basic truths. In this isolated scenario, health was measured as an absence of disease-related symptoms. Sankofa Moves prides itself in cultivating people who perform better with their bodies through proper neuromuscular function, balanced nutrition, and healthy activity. We accomplish this by rigorously assessing performance to give us an idea of each person’s particular state of function. Eighty percent of the initial exam is a performance test, which means that we are evaluating how you move.
