Neuro Physique was founded with a vision to transform the way people perceive and experience wellness.
Founder Kavic Merrill, driven by his experiences in the traditional healthcare field and his belief that many of the current medical models are fundamentally lacking when it comes to helping people treat the root causes of their pain, pioneered a new type of massage therapy called Functional Neuromuscular Therapy (FNMT) and combined it with cognitive reprogramming to create a new way to retrain the body’s tissues and help them to respond better to future impact.
After several years of practicing FNMT, particularly on those who came in with athletic injuries, Kavic wanted to expand what Neuro Physique offered to better help his clients eliminate pain and speed recovery. He started by adding infrared saunas, cold plunge tubs, compression therapy, and other types of therapies in order to aid the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
The natural evolution at that point was then to address the question: How can we work to prevent injuries from happening in the first place?
After digging into the science behind movement patterns and the actual mechanics of how injuries happen, NeuroPhysique further expanded its offerings to include speed and agility sessions, which combine specialized treadmills and agility drills to increase range of motion, fix running mechanics, and train the body to respond better when under pressure and under different movement patterns.
From helping you to come back from an injury to empowering you to reduce your risk of injury period, Neuro Physique is all about training you and your body to be more resilient, both on and off the field.
Kavic founded Neuro Physique (formerly Extreme Bodyworx) in 2019 with the mission to empower people to take charge of their own wellness through self-education and individualized health care. Kavic is the creator of the Functional Neuromuscular Therapy (FNMT) modality of massage therapy, which all the therapists at Neuro Physique employ.
He graduated from Weber State University with a nursing degree in 2014, and his early experiences in the healthcare industry were pivotal in shaping the philosophies and techniques that would later inform his practice of massage therapy.
He seeks to not only help relieve his clients of the pain that’s often been plaguing them for years, but he also seeks to help them know how to help heal their own pain and become more resilient for their future.
When he’s not busy providing relief and hope to his clients, he loves to spend time hiking, camping, and enjoying the great outdoors with his wife, Stacy, and their five boys.
