AJIII Health Functional Philosophy™

A Holistic Framework for Human Function

At AJIII Health, we believe healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when every part of the body and every layer of health is considered, connected, and cared for.

That’s the foundation of the AJIII Health Functional Philosophy™: an anatomy-backed, sustainable approach to chiropractic care and functional wellness.

Built upon three interconnected pillars — the True Core, Strength & Length, and the Three Ts — this philosophy guides everything we do, from clinical treatment to community education. Whether you're a patient, a health professional, or an organization seeking meaningful wellness solutions, the AJIII Functional Philosophy™ offers a new way forward.

Pillar 1: The True Core

Stability begins here.

The True Core is more than abs. It’s the often-misunderstood muscle system deep within the body that stabilize and support everything from posture to digestion to breath.

When activated properly, the True Core:

  • Creates foundational stability for pain-free movement

  • Reduces compensatory tension and misalignment

  • Boosts performance for athletes and everyday movers alike

Most patients have never been taught how to engage their core properly, and that’s why the True Core is our first focus. Once it's activated, everything else becomes possible.

Pillar 2: Strength & Length

Balance is the blueprint.

For a body to move well, it must first be in balance. That’s why we emphasize:

  • Lengthening chronically tight muscles that are overworking

  • Strengthening underused muscles that aren’t pulling their weight

  • Anatomy so you understand the ‘Why’ behind these shifts in movement

This approach relieves pain, restores alignment, and improves performance without gimmicks or guesswork. It’s not about stretching everything or strengthening everything — it’s about identifying the right targets, at the right time, for the right reasons.

Pillar 3: The Three Ts

Because we’re more than muscles and bones.

The Three Ts represent the emotional, physical, and nutritional stressors that disrupt our health:

  • Thoughts: Mental patterns, stress, and belief systems that can manifest physically in the body

  • Traumas: Past injuries and imbalances that change how the body moves and feels

  • Toxins: Nutritional or environmental inputs that interfere with the body’s ability to function optimally

You can stretch, strengthen, and adjust — but if you don’t address the Three Ts, healing will plateau. At AJIII Health, we integrate this understanding into our assessments and care plans.
