About Us

Greta Severs, Founder

Greta Severs, Founder of the Movement is Therapy™ program has been part of the fitness industry for more than fifteen years. As a professionally certified teacher and trainer of multiple exercise methods, Greta is truly an expert in the field. She firmly believes the power quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, that “Knowledge comes by eyes that are always wide open; and there is no knowledge that is not power.” Greta has a sincere passion to help and empower people with knowledge to understand the benefits of exercise and movement to improve their overall health and well being.

Greta personally understands how exercise and movement can heal the body, but that it can also cause harm if performed incorrectly. She suffered from a back injury when playing tennis, and continued exercising improperly, exacerbating the issue. Greta saw this scenario often with her clients through their various incorrect movements, and realized that most people don’t have the fundamental understanding of “how to” move or exercise to prevent injury and support performance and healing. She applied her extensive background and education in exercise and fitness to create the Movement is Therapy™ program, and is dedicated to helping individuals use movement and exercise to reduce pain, rehab from and prevent injury, and enhance performance, all of which support well being.

Greta designed the Movement is Therapy™ program to identify opportunities for improvement and show individuals correct movement and exercise for their unique body. She also recognized the need for long term application, and developed tools to support ongoing, correct and beneficial movement and exercise. Thus individuals go through the program only once; it does not require ongoing, long term training. Specific, targeted teaching, homework, and one-on-one support throughout the program, help ensure the individual’s ongoing practice of these corrective exercise methods, and permanent success.

Greta’s commitment to helping others through the Movement is Therapy™ program is changing the way people move and improving the way they live.
