Hi, I’m Shawn M. Flot, MPT, Physical Therapist
Oxygen Advantage Master Instructor &
Functional Movement Specialist

Team Up With a Trusted Guide to Unlock Your Extraordinary Potential
Through 30 years as a physical therapist, I’ve witnessed the remarkable truth that nervous system strength and resilience form the foundation of all health. Every person possesses innate health capacities that, while often buried or overlaid by life’s challenges, remain present and waiting to be uncovered. These natural abilities don’t disappear but become diminished through compensations, adaptations, and the inevitable impacts of how we’ve lived and what we’ve experienced.
My approach isn’t about treating dysfunction, but rather establishing a genuine partnership where together we unveil and reclaim these obscured capacities through right action and deliberate effort. By focusing on functional breathing and whole-body movement with a felt sense, our work together strengthens your nervous system—restoring its natural resilience and adaptability that enables true healing, vitality, and performance.
This collaborative approach empowers you to rediscover what has always been within you, creating sustainable pathways to health that you can carry forward independently into all aspects of your life.
Ready to rediscover and strengthen the nervous system capacities that have been within you all along? I invite you to join me in this partnership to uncover your unique health potential, building a strong foundation that supports not just recovery, but a joyful, purposeful life filled with the activities that matter most to you.
