Enhance Your Health with The RANGE Experience
The Story of The RANGE:
Why We Exist — And Why You Need a "RANGE" for Being Human
A World Missing the Fundamentals
Golfers understand a crucial truth: if you don’t use your skills, you lose them. A swing left unpracticed becomes rusty; a putt unrefined loses its precision. But what about the rest of us? For years, we’ve treated our bodies like machines—pushing them to perform, ignoring the slow creep of entropy, and assuming that "being active" was enough. Gyms promised strength, yoga promised flexibility, yet something was missing. Aches lingered. Injuries piled up. Joints stiffened like unattended hinges.
We forgot a more profound truth: the human body isn’t a machine. It’s a garden.
Leave a garden unattended, and weeds choke the soil. Pull them today, and they’ll return tomorrow. So it goes with our bodies: skip a week of movement, and muscles atrophy. Neglect alignment, and posture crumbles. We assumed "exercise" was the answer, but without tending to the foundations—the quiet, daily maintenance work—we are just delaying decay.
The Moment We Saw the Weeds:
The revelation emerged not on a golf course but through a quiet observation: Athletes have practice ranges to hone their craft. Why don’t we have a "range" for being human?
Gyms focus on athletic qualities—strength, speed, and power. But what about the human qualities? The mobility of a hip joint, the stability of a shoulder, the rhythm of a breath? We realized that without a foundation, even the fittest bodies break down. A marathon runner with a stiff ankle, a weightlifter with a seized-up spine, and a golfer whose back gives out on the 9th hole.
That’s when it clicked:
What if we treated the body like a garden, not a machine?
What if we created a "range" not for sports, but for the fundamentals of being human?
The answer was movement, but not just any movement. Specific, deliberate, daily care. The kind that doesn’t just build muscle, but preserves it. That doesn’t just push limits, but respects them.
Welcome to The RANGE:
This is why we exist.
The RANGE is your practice ground for the most essential skill: being human. Here, we don’t chase reps or personal bests. We focus on what’s beneath the surface: the mobility of joints, the resilience of connective tissue, and the balance of strength and ease. Like a golfer refining their swing, we refine the movements that keep your body thriving, not just surviving.
Our Philosophy in Action:
· Your Body is a Garden. Neglect it, and entropy wins. Tend to it daily, and it flourishes.
· Not All Movement is Equal. We design routines targeting your weeds, stiff spots, and unique biology.
· Mastery Starts Here. Just as a golfer’s range time translates to the course, your work at The RANGE translates to life: fewer injuries, better performance, and a body that feels alive.
Why This Matters
The RANGE isn’t a gym. It’s a rebellion against decay. It represents a commitment to the daily work that allows you to keep what you love—whether that’s golf, hiking, or simply playing with your kids without pain.
Because entropy is relentless, but so are we.
Recreation
In today's society, we often feel like we're trapped in a zoo. Engaging in recreational activities and going on adventures can help us reconnect with nature and improve our health. Our bodies are designed for complex movements (Daniel Wolpert), and we don't need a gym membership to get moving and enjoy the outdoors. Spending time in nature has been shown to improve our mood and cognitive performance by exposing us to unique visual and auditory stimuli. Even just 20 minutes outside three days a week can help reduce stress caused by cortisol.
Athletics
If you have a body, you are an athlete- Bill Bowerman. At EXOS they apply the same performance model for “average Joes” as they do for their professional athletes. The general population assumes rehabilitation is only for elite athletes, the principles of elite athletics scale across all populations and are applicable to everyone.
N=1 (Individualized Care)
Generic processes lead to generic outcomes. If we are to achieve the highest quality results the more specific we can be the better. All movements are created internally. All movements are executed internally. Internal constraints are the first to overcome. External displays of movement are an expression of internal function. Everyone’s internal constraints are different, which means each person will respond entirely differently to the same exercise. Every person will have a different trainable menu. A goal of care is to help expand movement options, which creates a larger trainable menu.
“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” -Lewis Carroll. If you’ve got the wrong map, the right compass will get you home if you know how to use it. The more specific you can define the goals the easier it is to design a process or system to achieve the desired result. After the initial assessment, we determine the patient/client’s current capacity and set goals based on performance demands. By analyzing the difference between the patient/client’s current capabilities and the requirements for optimal performance, we can develop a systematic plan of management. Goals are important for direction, but ultimately performance is dictated by the systems and processes in place to move toward the desired result. Setting goals helps you plan your progress while implementing systems helps you make actual progress. While goals can be helpful in the short term, a well-designed system is ultimately more effective in providing direction and achieving success. The key is committing to the process and following through.
Goals
Excellence
How do you continually outperform? It means every day beating your former self. A key to Excellence is the aggregation of MARGINAL GAINS, or seeking 1% improvement every day. Marginal gains refer to small, gradual improvements made in a process that adds up to a significant overall improvement. The key to progress is a commitment to the cycle of constant improvement and refinement. Your dedication to the process is what will ultimately determine your success.
