Lighten Up
Light affects our biology and the ways we feel. And it can be manipulated in countless ways to inspire different moods and states. For example, a darkened candlelit restaurant creates the classic romantic mood, while full-spectrum lit office buildings serve to enhance productivity.

One of the most comfortable and least invasive supports you can experience, light bands penetrate muscles, nerves, skin, blood, bones and DNA while warming, soothing and restoring. Popularly called cold-level laser therapy, different ranges of light (red, infra-red, and blue) are scientifically reported to increase blood flow, increase nitric oxide in the body, ease inflammation, stimulate countless cellular functions such as mitochondrial output, our energy makers, enzyme regulation, synthesis, repair and increase collagen and elastin proteins, optimizing immunity, lymphatic movement and anti-aging.
Light pads of varying size are used to cover areas of desired effect. This might include large areas like the back or abdomen as well as joints, smaller skin areas and the face. Some pads contain as many as 126 LEDs, others 72 and some only 9. We may also use small devices referred to as wands or hand-held units where the intensity of the light is more of a factor than volume of light.
The light is controlled and monitored by a central processing device that imprints information on the light, very similar to how information is sent through blue laser light to create a blue-ray disk. The light is used to imbedd the sound and visual information as well as the data menu and functions. The actual laser light is the same from blue-ray to blue-ray; however, it is the information that changes. Each program is specifically chosen to elicit the most xccelerated results.
The light emitted by these devices is not columnated. Essentially they are not directed through a focused lens for the purpose of refining the light to a pin point for precise cutting or burning. The light is purposefully diffuse, like the Sun in your garden. If allowed to be diffuse, a tremendous amount of photosynthesis takes place. If refracted through a lens, the benefits are received by a smaller area. This also keeps the experience of the light for optimized wellbeing and not for treatment of specific conditions.
One of the most comfortable and least invasive supports you can experience, different light bands penetrate muscles, nerves, skin, mitochondria, blood and bones while warming, soothing, vitalizing and restoring these tissues. Most commonly, clients experience sessions lying down with light over the eyes, creating a deeply relaxing experience.

It Just Feels Good
Learn to feel empowerment from the inside out the very first time you try it. It begins with a bonafide change in perspective on how the body is designed to perform, and it’s further achieved through simple adjustments that ignite deeply seated postural support. What is it? Foundation Training of course. And we don’t care what it looks like, it just feels good.
It Just Feels Good
Learn to feel empowerment from the inside out the very first time you try it. Beginning with a bonafide change in perspective on how the body is designed to perform, and it’s further achieved through simple adjustments that ignite deeply seated postural support. What is it? Foundation Training of course. And we don’t care what it looks like, it just feels good.
Foundation Training is the method that TCAM embraces as the must-know-antidote for pain and performance complaints, and it's the remedy to the time constraints and immobility of our modern lifestyle.
What is Foundation Training? Literally the most natural way of moving the human body. If you have a human body, you are designed to do these movements. Awakening this innate potential through simple positions and movements, formerly untapped power and strength become your new natural state.
Dr. Eric Goodman, author of Foundation and his latest book True to Form, created Foundation Training as a solution to his own back pain as an athlete and chiropractor. As foreword author Chris Hemsworth describes, daily Foundation Training can create superhuman strength.
Why do Foundation Training? Foundation training quickly ignites natural, though often dormant, postural signals that integrate muscle chains. This means effort and tension quickly become distributed among all the muscles that execute powerful posture, not relying on and exhausting only a few. This results in a true powerful core and posture that allows for ease in your daily life and powerful performance.
What is the experience like? We teach Foundation Training in both group class format, featuring the TCAM exclusive 'Moving Meditation Class' as well as one-on-one private instruction. Using muscles as integrated systems allows for faster sessions with greater results. Privates are 25 or 45 minutes and group classes are 55 minutes of transformation. Additionally, our private sessions often utilize the Power Plate technology for deeper, reflexive muscle development.
Whether you take our Foundation Training on mats or our innovation on Power Plates, you are sure to experience a huge leap in conditioning.

More Than Vibration
As we age and take on more sedentary lifestyles a large part of our muscle system begins to atrophy. Formerly the only way to condition this kind of muscle performance was through intense conditioning like plyometrics, boxing, jumping and sprinting. Now you can recruit that level of muscle activation while virtually standing still.

Formerly the only way to condition this kind of muscle performance was through intense conditioning like plyometrics, boxing, jumping and sprinting. Now you can recruit that level of muscle activation while virtually standing still.
Power Plate is a tool, not a movement technique, freeing us to use any movement pattern like Foundation Training, yoga, Pilates, dance, traditional exercise or no movement at all. This makes for an incredibly efficient experience as Power Plate sessions range from only 25-45 minutes.
Stronger, faster muscles require more caloric support so our clients experience changes in body fat composition while improving power, bone density, circulation and lymph drainage. At TCAM we take full advantage of all these benefits. Incredible strength and profound changes are what you will experience.
What is Power Plate? A platform that you stand, lie, sit or rest upon that moves 30-50 times per second in three directions, almost invisible to the naked eye. The effect is a feeling of amplified gravity on the body, increasing force without having to use weights, resistance bands or other load.
Does the Power Plate shake your brain? Absolutely not. Power Plate is the leader in this technology because they control these kinds of movements after years of study and results. The plates moves vertically between 2 and 4 millimeters only. Vertical displacement is a critical consideration for the gravitational effects. Xcceleration training is not merely vibration. Xcceleration training is everything vibration training is plus everything vibration training isn't. Precisely engineered. Safe. Effective.
Who was Power Plate technology designed for? Originally designed to condition cosmonauts for zero gravity environments in space it was discovered that it made bones, connective tissue and muscles much stronger and slower to atrophy.
Why try Power Plate? You cannot mimic the results that come from Power Plate without excessive training using speed training like sprints, high impact work like boxing and plyometrics and bodywork like massage and other lymph circulating modalities. Aligning with TCAM principles, Power Plates facilitate these results in record time in a safe and controlled environment. 25 minute sessions are likened to no less than one hour of training. That's what we call results faster.
