Innovative Movement Therapy

Norman Allard, founder of Hierarchy of Movement, provides unique solutions to challenges in the musculoskeletal system, the gut, and the nervous system.

At HōM, we’ve redefined fitness and rehabilitation. It is about bringing more awareness to how your body parts and mind are connected, how they coordinate, and how they control. We'll teach you to address and prevent physical, psychological and psycho-emotional issues through self-regulation of your autonomic nervous system.

Through live classes, home programs, and one-on-one sessions, students of all ages and ability levels can reduce or eliminate pain, improve sports performance, enhance mobility, and achieve calm of body, mind, and spirit.

Life Changing Results

  • From a Wheelchair to Ski Slopes

    One HōM student began in a wheelchair in their late 70s and now they're back to skiing in their 80s!

    One 40-year old HōM student gained two inches in height!

  • Revisit the Hobbies You Love

    One HōM student had experienced so much pain he could only play basketball or ride his bike for 10-20 minutes at a time. He's now ridden his bike from Canada to Mexico and enjoys basketball again!

  • Achieving the Impossible

    One 70-year old HōM student was told she needed neck surgery that could result in being a quadraplegic. Now her neck has become so functional she doesn't need to go back to the doctor for a year!

Remember How to Breathe

Breathing With Intention Can Transform Your Life

In addition to teaching gentle, intentional movements, Norman teaches all HōM students how to practice Full Spectrum Breathing.

You might ask, "I already breathe, why do I have to learn to breathe?"

One way or another, our breath is being influenced: it is either being guided by our conscious awareness or manipulated unconsciously. The unconscious breath tends to be manipulated by our habits and conditionings. If we are in pain, depressed, sick, angry, reactive, etc., the unconscious breath (like a puppy dog wanting to please its master) supports and perpetuates this pattern.

Full Spectrum Breathing allows us to be consciously in the driver’s seat directing our breath with intelligence, providing multiple tools and greater control over our health and well-being.
