Dr. Jacob Gries brings together movement, clinical care, and a deep respect for the lived experience of the body.

With roots in gymnastics and martial arts, he developed an early awareness of the body as both resilient and expressive. He found yoga in 2010 and has been teaching since 2016, shaping a perspective that values breath, attention, and the quieter layers of movement that often go unnoticed.

He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2023, along with previous baccalaureate degrees in both Anatomy and Theology, and is completing a Master’s in Clinical Neuroscience in the Spring of 2026. His work is informed by ongoing study in somatics, neuromuscular re-education, and integrated embodiment.

Dr. Gries has a particular focus on working with artists, performers, and creatives. Having once stepped away from his own creative life, he understands how disconnection from the body can shape not only pain, but expression itself. His care is designed to help patients move out of restriction and back into a sense of presence, agency, and creative flow.

Appointments are not just about addressing symptoms, but about helping patients experience their bodies differently through hands-on care, movement, and awareness. His approach is both clinical and relational, with a quiet theological grounding that views the body as something to be cared for, listened to, and embodied fully.

Whether you are navigating pain, recovering from strain, or seeking to feel more at home in your body and your craft, his goal is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
