The Process

Without knowing the cause, exercise is guesswork.

We measure posture and range of motion before deciding what to do.

01

Posture analysis and assessment

We record static and dynamic posture, joint range of motion, and left-right imbalance.

02

Individual program design

Session goals and movements are built from your assessment results.

03

One-on-one training and reassessment

Every session is coached personally, and we reassess at set intervals to adjust course.

Programs

The foundation is the same. The path is not.

Assessment finds what is specific to your body, and proven principles set the direction that fits you.

The Program

One-on-one corrective exercise

We start with assessment, set a baseline through corrective exercise, and adjust direction with periodic reassessment. Forward head posture, pelvic asymmetry, scoliosis, and return after surgery or injury are handled on the same principles.

01

We look first

We measure posture and range of motion so the current state is visible. We do not start on guesswork.

02

We start from fundamentals

The principles that let the spine find its place are the same for everyone. That foundation does not change.

03

We fit it to you

Intensity, order, and coaching change with your job, pain, training history, and recovery speed.

Director

Programs designed
around spinal health.

Posture is a result; the cause usually sits somewhere else. Finding the cause through assessment and reversing it through exercise is how Gonstead Care works.

A private studio. One person per hour.

Doctor of Chiropractic

Joseph Cho, D.C. · Chiropractor

Forward head posture, pelvic asymmetry, chronic low back pain. The names differ, but the stories are alike: stretching was tried, massage was tried, and within days it comes back. It comes back because the cause was left in place. We begin with assessment: static posture, movement, joint range of motion, left-right balance are recorded, and each session is designed from those results.

Dr. Cho earned a bachelor's degree in sports medicine before embarking on a transformative journey to the United States to study at the renowned Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA.

While at Palmer, Dr. Cho had the honor of teaching the Gonstead Chiropractic system at the prestigious Palmer Gonstead Chiropractic Club, where he shared his knowledge and passion with fellow students. Upon graduating from Palmer Chiropractic School, Dr. Cho obtained a US Chiropractic license.

Following that, Dr. Cho successfully completed the Doctor of Chiropractic course and passed the national board exam for physiotherapy in chiropractic. His education was further enriched through an internship with one of the Midwest region’s top chiropractors and extensive study under the esteemed Gonstead Seminar group, learning from second-generation chiropractors of Dr. Gonstead.

Dr. Cho specializes in a variety of chiropractic specialties including Pain Relief, Range of Motion Improvement, Natural Healing Promotion, Spinal Alignment, Immune System Strengthening, Enhanced Athletic Performance, Reduced Dependence on Surgery and Medications, Improved Nervous System Function, and Posture Correction.
