About me.
“The goal of effortless movement is the same, whether I’m working with an elite athlete, elderly person, stroke survivor or back pain sufferer.”
-Teresa Wong
In 1995, I began specializing in human movement at the UCLA Medical Center Gait Analysis Laboratory. As a physical therapist and Pilates instructor, I naturally integrated the science and the art of movement. Twenty years ago, I also began working with technology companies around the world to integrate cutting-edge innovations into the movement equation.
Since then, it has been an enormous privilege to collaborate with specialists all over the world. From scientists, inventors, engineers and entrepreneurs to physicians, physical therapists and athletic trainers, the quest has always been to optimize rehabilitation to make human movements faster, stronger and easier.
The Modern Art of Recovery is an approach I developed in 2013 that combines science, art and technology to create the actual experience of movement recovery. This safe environment is where the body and mind learn to heal themselves.
