Hi! My name is Alyse Aguirre, born in Maryland and raised Minnesota, I'm the daughter of 2 chiropractors. I love Spartans, anything outdoors and have been horseback riding and snowboarding since my early teens. 

 

I'm also the proud owner of Revival Movement UT and Revival Equine, as well as the creator of Functional Integrative Movement Therapy, a how-to Re-Organize Movement and Connect the Intrinsic Core.

​

I've spent the last 20 years merging my desire to understand how things work with my passions and what came about it is everything I do in my career. Welcome to my journey!

 

From Barrel Racing to Barbell to Holistic Healing

My equestrian journey began at the tender age of 12, galloping into the world of barrel racing. Little did I know, this fast-paced sport would not only teach me the thrill of speed but also introduce me to the delightful cocktail of stress, anxiety, and pressure—along with a side of unsolved mysteries that often accompany the equestrian lifestyle. After a brief hiatus from the horse world in 2012, I returned with a renewed passion in 2020, eager to rewrite my equestrian narrative. This time, I embraced a more thoughtful approach, one that prioritized the well-being of my equine companions. Since then, I’ve welcomed three remarkable horses into my life, each with their own set of challenges—such as anxiety, depression, gut and hormonal issues, injuries, and the ever-elusive “unexplained lameness.” With patience and lots of continuing education, I’ve successfully rehabilitated countless horses facing similar hurdles. While some require a bit more TLC than others, I take pride in knowing that many thrive without the need for continuous intervention. In the end, my journey is a testament to the transformative power of understanding and compassion in the equestrian realm. After all, it’s not just about the ride; it’s about the relationship.

 

During my break from horses (yes, I traded my saddle for a barbell), I became a top trainer at a prestigious private gym. I learned a lot from my clients, coworkers, and friends. My fitness journey skyrocketed, and my clients achieved great gains. However, I found myself in a predicament: I couldn't identify certain movement patterns or help with healing pain through movement. 

Additionally, I dealt with persistent pain that refused to heal. I couldn’t understand its origin or how to eliminate it. In 2020, I began my journey to become a Human Movement Specialist at the Brookbush Institute. This experience was transformative, enhancing and bringing clarity and sucess my training and massage practice.

 

Since then, many different hurdles in my own life have stimulated learning in my professional life:

• 2019: Got hit by a car on my motor cycle, tore my labrum in my shoulder and experienced a TBI, I learned the impact of trauma on the nervous system and became aware of the possible symptoms that can come with it and how to treat it through movement therapies.

• 2020: Got Covid-19 very badly and never recovered, was diagnosed with Long-Covid and was confirmed that my exessive heart rate, inability to breathe, chronic pain, vertigo, etc were in response to that. I couldn't work out very much without feeling horrible until 2025. In 2025 I got trained by Dr. Perrin in the Perrin Technique, which addresses Long Covid, Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. This information has forever changed the way I treat my human and animal clients. I have treated my self since 2025 with amazing results.

• 2022: I broke my pinky toe and couldn't wear shoes, so I decided to learn all about the feet and the fascial connections from the foot-to the core (heavily influencing my FIMT program), since then I've gotten EBFA Global Level 1 Barefoot Certified (working on Level 2). I also decided it was time to indulge in mobility training (since I've never been flexible), so I got FRS Level 1 Certified and It changed my life. I also realized that I had been living in hypervigilance and survival for most of my life, hiding under the cloak of sucess and I felt like I was crashing. So I decreased my hours at work and started learning about the vagus nerve (LIFE!) and recovering from stress, which heavily influenced my training and massage practice ESPECIALLY IN WOMEN- Prepping for Peri-Menopause and in Peri-Menopause, helping them manage cortisol, to avoid high influxes in potential fatigue, weight gain, ect.

• In 2023 my gelding was not doing well, so I got him a chiropractic appointment. He was out of control shaking and upset, not in a normal way. The chiro even asked what was wrong with him (we never ask that btw). I guess I figured if she didn't know, I should go find out, so because of him I took my Upledger CS1 & 2 Human and Tom Mayes Equine Craniosacral Therapy and Osteo 1 courses, which absolutely changed mine and my clients lives. 

These experiences and so many more brought me where I am today as a practitioner!

Today, my current focus is on understanding how our sensory systems calibrate our bodies with the external environment around us and how this knowledge empowers us to multiply forces for more efficient movement, ultimately leading to peak performance rather than injury.
