Focus on the Positive...
Through practice, you can almost always find the positive in any situation.  Anything that can be formulated in positive terms will lead to harmony among people and productive change. 

Make your life a seminar in living.  You can achieve this by learning something new each day, no matter how small; by reaching out to others; by never passing up an opportunity for a new experience that will enlarge your knowledge; and by traveling as much as possible so that you can see new places and meet new people from different backgrounds.

Having an attitude of gratitude is about finding the positive in any situation. Find yourself saying "but at least..." to whatever challenges you are facing. Your optimistic shift in perspective will help you stay positive, it will make life more enjoyable, and you will attract other like-minded individuals.

As always, we encourage you to communicate your cares, questions, and concerns to us because we truly desire to help you toward achieving your goals with great success. Whether it be through informational newsletters, a friendly phone call, or just giving you a place where you can come to be motivated into a great workout, we hope that you know your steps toward success matter to us. You matter to us. We are here to help.

Thank you for allowing us into your personal lives.

Sincerely,

Most back pain stems from postural imbalance, an
almost unavoidable symptom of today's sedentary lifestyle. "Today, kids are
in front of the TV, the computer or video games. Adults sit behind desks or
in cars for much of the day ... so we're moving less and less. This in turn
creates the core instability we see in so many people: the slumped posture and
rounded shoulders."

Titus Motion Therapy (TMT) uses exercise and motion therapy to realign your body and correct posture through the use of prescribed exercises designed to restore balance and flexibility. This results in the elimination of pain and chronic injuries. The program consists of individualized, specific exercise routines that are non-invasive and safe - without hands-on manipulation, adjustments, machines or medication. The body is treated as a whole unit with an emphasis on education and self-reliance.

Exercise therapist Frank Titus, B.S., T.M.T., exclusively offers Titus Motion Therapy at his newly expanded Health Through Motion Center in Los Angeles. He developed the therapeutic program after 15 years experience in exercise therapy and pain management, and he has successfully treated high profile entertainment clients, as well Olympians, PGA, NFL and NBA  players.

Without pharmaceutical drugs or hands-on manipulation, TMT has over a 95%success rate in eliminating pain, and is a beneficial adjunct or alternative to chiropractic treatment and physical therapy. The modality is an off-shoot of the acclaimed Egoscue Method, which golf pro Jack Nicholas publicly attributed to eliminating his need for back surgery. Titus holds a degree in Exercise Physiology with emphasis on Kinesiology and Corporate Fitness from Indiana State University.

Titus treats clients throughout the world via video consultations and has
had clients as far away as New Zealand.

Hi Shannon and Caroline,
 
I wanted to let you guys know that I am in better physical condition than I have been since I graduated from college twenty years ago.  I would never have thought that I could come so far in a short 6 weeks.  I knew that I was in better condition, but it was proven to me yesterday.  I have been searching for a new physician to help me find the source of my twenty year cough and had an appointment yesterday.  To make a long story short, my breathing tests were at 130% for someone my age and she is going to try and lower my asthma medicine.  She also did a baseline EKG and my resting heart rate was so low that the results were abnormal except for an athlete.  Thanks for having the perfect program to help me get back in shape.

After 20 years of studying human achievement and helping people attain their personal goals, John Spencer Ellis felt he had to do something on a grander scale to make a positive change in the world. He pondered how he could make a bigger difference in more people's lives, not just physically and mentally, but from all perspectives. His answer is The Compass.
