By aligning the body and removing restrictions in soft tissues and joints, the body will learn how to move as it was intended.

Dr. Greaux is a movement-minded therapist. Her treatment, care, and home exercises are intended to not only help with symptoms, but to enhance function affected by previous injuries and work-related tasks. She has learned long ago that the site of chronic pain is usually not the root of the problem. While pain management is addressed during her sessions, she aims to find the root of the cause through various knowledge gained in movement therapy.

She also believes she is 50% of the solution. As long as her patients put in 100%, she will put 100% in guiding her patients to moving better. This can be a slow or fast process, depending on compliance, previous injuries, and current activities. Borrowing the philosophy of the chiropractic profession, the body is the ultimate healer. By aligning the body and removing restrictions in soft tissues and joints, the body will learn how to move as it was intended.

Movement Analysis

Dr. Greaux has an obsession with conferences, workshops, and classes related to all movement. She’s traveled as far as Germany, UK, Saskatchewan, and East Coast to learn from the most respected researchers and providers in cycling, running, golf, and general movement. Her goal is to:

-Identify movement dysfunction -Treat scar tissue, fixated joints, and poorly moving fascia, muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments -Guide the client to achieving optimal movement through education and home exercises. -She currently uses technology during her bike fits and run analysis to observe quality of movement and identify areas that need work.

Education and Athletic Achievements

Before obtaining her chiropractic training, Dr. Greaux received a B.S. in Psychology from Brown University where she played on the Division I nationally ranked varsity soccer team. Her athletic accomplishments include All-Ivy, All-New England, and All-Northeast Region.

In 2001 she graduated Magna Cum Laude from Life Chiropractic West specializing in diversified and extremity adjusting techniques.

Now a cyclist, photographer, and outdoor enthusiast, Dr. Greaux draws upon her athletic and academic backgrounds to provide expert support and guidance in reaching her patients’ goals. As a strong believer in the mind-body connection, she teaches patients how to listen to their instincts when it comes to their bodies.

"Eight months ago I had a terrible accident while skiing and ended up dislocating my kneecap, completely rupturing my ACL and MCL, and tearing my PCL and medial meniscus. In the ER that day I wasn’t sure whether or not I’d be able to walk again. Soon after moving to Berkeley I started searching for a therapist who could help me with advanced rehab after surgery. I couldn’t have found a better place than Innersport. With a combination of intense deep tissue massage from “iron hands” Jess and personalized physical training from “mountain man” Mike, I’ve regained almost full range of motion in my knee and put some serious muscle back on my emaciated stick-leg. I started at Innersport walking with a limp. Now I’m going on 8 mile runs and 30 mile bike rides (I’m new to biking) in the Berkeley hills. I attribute my success to one simple fact: Jess and Mike knew exactly what it would take, both mentally and physically, for me to get back in action. Knowledgeable and incredibly fit, they served as great role models who challenged me to come back each week with new progress. Anyway, I’ve figured out that recovery is at least as much mental as it is physical. Having the right motivational influences around is key."

"Without much luck with other therapists, I visited Dr. Jess. Through her diligent work and guidance, I am now able to again play the sport I love.. golf. With how wrecked my arm was, never thought it would happen. And the docs thought it was carpal tunnel. She’s the best! Update: Dr. Jess is the Greatest After suffering with a debilitating shoulder/arm problem for 6 months, I learned of the work she does and set an appointment. Little by little, she treated the issues. I never thought I would fully recover and have. Thank you Innersport team! "

"This is Beyond Great I’ve recently turned myself in for rehab with Dr. Greaux and discovered that my stride is causing my longstanding series of hip issues. First my running was videotaped . and now she is giving me corrective exercises to stop stressing the overworked muscles and using the lazy ones. I am feeling very hopeful ! Dr. Greaux is just a wonderfully caring person to have working on me and I highly recommend her!!!"
