BIO: The Rejuvenation Movement Method was born out of Jonathan Fitzgordon‘s personal and professional experience with changing the body’s habitual movement patterns through self- awareness and repetition. After stubbornly suffering through three knee surgeries and repeatedly re-injuring himself, Jonathan decided to step back to take a good look at how the body works. Injury free these many years later, the Rejuvenation Movement Method aims to help people age gracefully and live pain free lives.
