Dr. JEFF ALMON - A unique approach.
Dr. Jeff Almon is the owner of MVMTLAB Sports Performance Clinic and an affiliate faculty member of the University of Western States. He is a Doctor of Chiropractic.
He played college football with the University of Calgary Dinos from 1997 to 2002, co-captaining the team in his last two seasons and graduating with a B.Sc. in Exercise Physiology. He was drafted into the CFL (Canadian Football League) where he played as a fullback, first for the Calgary Stampeders then for the BC Lions. He ended his professional football career in 2004 when he was accepted into the CMCC’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.
Since earning his DC in 2008, Dr. Almon has consulted and treated numerous professional athletes & sports teams, including the Chinese National Speed Skating Team, PGA Tour athletes, Alpine Ski Ontario, FIVB Volleyball athletes, Vancouver Canucks development program, Canadian Women's soccer team, professional sprint cyclists and multiple Olympic athletes in various disciplines. He is also a coach for the West Vancouver Track & Field Club's varsity team.
Dr. Jeff founded MVMTLAB in 2013 with a vision to transform the health care industry by changing the way practitioners approach a patient's pain /injury diagnosis and the subsequent treatment plan. He takes a special interest in complex cases of chronic pain. Dr Jeff treats patients with a focus on dynamic neuromuscular stabilization and reactive stability. Patients play an active role in their own recovery journey. Everyone is welcome - athlete or not.
He is the creator of MVMTLAB's Neuroplasticity Gym and its two group classes : Ground Control and BAZOOKA. He designed these programs to accelerate an injured patient's recovery time. Both classes can also serve as a pre-hab protocol to prevent injuries, by detecting imbalances and weaknesses before it is too late. The programs help reset movement patterns and muscle activation capability, thereby returning the brain & body to their pre-injury state. Ground Control is whole-body focused, whereas BAZOOKA is specifically for shoulders.
Dr. Jeff is always excited to share his knowledge and ideas on how to create a more functional human experience.

Over the last 15 years I’ve visited countless chiropractors - many good - but many did not have as deep of a functional understanding of human anatomy and how to manipulate it for our physiological benefits. Dr. Jeff Almon and his crew are simply the best I’ve been to, hands down.

After 3 months of injury, I was finally able to get better thanks to Chris' assessment of my case and his holistic approach to healing.
I just had my first race of the year yesterday and had a big PR, so I seem to be back to full, if not better fitness than ever.
Thanks to Chris & all the wonderful staff at MVMT. I would
highly recommend this lab; especially for athletes!

Dr. MARIETA BUSE BSc, ND CISSN
Dr. Marieta's passion is sports medicine, with her background in naturopathic medicine. Her unique approach allows her to integrate modern medicine with the foundations of health and performance. She sees each case with a panoramic perspective of the whole body, but also has the ability to hone into the details of each system of the body. In this way, she addresses performance, injuries, and health concerns with an evidence-based treatment plan that is specific to each patient.
ACCELERATE RECOVERY & ACHIEVE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
In the realm of sports, people struggle to integrate the various options for performance and recovery. They end up seeing several different practitioners who mainly focus on the musculoskeletal system and aren’t working together. In some cases, they can actually work against each other!
Naturopathic doctors view each patient with a panoramic perspective of the whole body and the honed-in details specific to each system of the body. In this way, all systems of the body are brought into balance to optimize performance and recovery. Naturopathic doctors can help you coordinate and streamline your treatments to get you back in action faster, and take you to the next level!

I dropped by to see Dr. Marieta Buse (ND) for some issues. One of them being a recurring fungal infection on my skin that i've had for a number of years. I've seen many doctors about it before, but was not able to get anything helpful. After taking the supplements that she prescribed, I noticed my fungal infection fading away within 2 weeks! She took the approach of "let's strengthen your immune system so your body can fight off the fungal infection." Her approach worked! I'm very impressed with her thorough approach and ability to diagnose and correct the problems. She isn't the first ND I've saw, but definitely the best ND that I've ever seen! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Buse for your naturopathic needs!

SPENCER HOEHN, RMT, B.Kin
Spencer is a Registered Massage Therapist who graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy.
Growing up immersed in sport, he eventually narrowed his focus on volleyball and competed with the University of Manitoba Bisons Men’s Team. Upon graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology, Spencer went on to become assistant coach of the University of Manitoba Women’s Volleyball Team.
After struggling through years of injuries, Spencer backed away from his opportunity to play volleyball in Europe and made the move to Vancouver to follow a different path. Through these experiences, he gathered an understanding of the mental and physical aspects of rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance, as well as how it applies to each person differently. Supporting people as they learn about their own bodies, he emphasizes patient education, movement, and long-term goals in his treatment plans.
Myofascial release therapy, deep tissue and swedish massage, joint mobilizations, and active and passive release techniques are integrated into each therapeutic session. Spencer’s goal is to customize patient care to meet the specific needs of the individual.
Spencer loves his free time! When he not at the lab, he loves to hike, bike, exercise, do yoga, play sports and board games, sit around fires, hot tub, bathe, camp, road trip, stretch, and get a full night’s sleep.
