The Smart Life Institute is a health initiative that provides sports science solutions for training, rehab, and life.

The mission of the Smart Life Institute has five key elements:

1. Build a global community of clients and clinicians committed to the shared vision of long-term health and it's integral relationship to competent self-care. The core values of this community are the premise that knowledge and self-responsibility are the ultimate keys to personal power and self-mastery and that personal transformation occurs through learning. This represents a new paradigm in health - a (R)evolution in Health.

2. Promote and deliver effective strategies for competent self-care in both clinical and non-clinical environments.

3. Create a client-centered and educationally-based community that fosters personal and systemic transformation via mentorship in all aspects of clinical and coaching practice.

4. Embrace a synergistic relationship between client and clinician to foster the growth and learning of each and every community member.

5. Define new standards in outcomes-based self-care and commitment to systemic health care reform such that it reflects these core premises.

These principles are accomplished via the utilization of the following:

1. The McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy as a foundation for effective self-care.

2. The application of the latest advances in sports medicine, sports sciences, and learning strategies.

3. The use of information technology and web-based applications for education, communication, consultation, and community interaction.

Life Is A Sport. Play Smart.
