Structural Integrity: The Physical Foundation of Longevity

Integrated Care for Patients of Dr. LaFollette

Optimal health requires two pillars: Internal Optimization and Structural Resilience. While Dr. LaFollette focuses on your medical, hormonal, and metabolic health, Dragon Physical Therapy ensures your physical frame is capable of supporting your longevity.

To maximize the benefits of Dr. LaFollette’s care—particularly regarding bone density, metabolic health, and hormonal balance—the body must be safely and strategically loaded.

The Anti-Fragile Audit:

  • The Anti-Fragile Audit is a specialized 30-minute mechanical diagnostic designed for high-performing women in Marin. We move beyond "rehab" to identify the Energy Leaks and mechanical inefficiencies that lead to chronic pain and fragility.

What we address:

  • Bone Density & Loading: We translate bone density data into a safe, progressive loading strategy to stimulate bone growth and joint health.

  • Sarcopenia Prevention: Building the "Mechanical Reserve" necessary to maintain independence and high-level activity for decades to come.

  • The 3-Point Mechanical Screen: A clinical audit of your Squat, Hinge, and Push/Pull mechanics to ensure you can move without the "age tax."


Proof of Performance

“I have been working with Ashley at Dragon Physical Therapy for over 8 years. When I first starting working with him I was suffering from knee pain and feared that I would end up with surgery from a torn meniscus. In addition I was suffering from lower back pain as a result of bad training in how to use a kettle ball. Between the 2 issues, I was at the point of being afraid of working out. Ashley showed me that there is a 'right' way to exercise that does not cause pain and strengthens weak muscles. Over the years my knee has grown stronger and I no longer worry about being forced to have surgery. Anytime I have problems trying a new type of stretch or exercise, Ashley makes adjustments to ensure I can continue. I started out working with Ashley in person but as we both moved across country, we have been working remotely using Video meetings. This method has worked very well and his flexibility due to my crossing multiple time zones has been really appreciated. I highly recommend working with Ashley if you have the chance, you won't regret it!”

“I can't recommend Ashley and Dragon Physical Therapy enough. After years of dealing with various injuries, I’ve worked with many different PTs, but I never felt like they 'got' the demands of BJJ. Ashley’s program was incredibly focused and efficient. We addressed my shoulder, back, and finger issues in only 3 sessions. I’m now back to training at full capacity without restrictions. The focus on movement quality was exactly what I needed to stay healthy on the mats.”

“I’ve (47M) been training BJJ for 4 years, and when I separated my AC joint, I was sure I’d be off the mats for months. Most PTs just tell you to stop training, but Ashley at Dragon Physical Therapy took a different approach. He worked with me to find ways to keep moving and training safely while we rehabbed the injury. I was back to full training in just two visits. His knowledge of sports injuries and his willingness to actually help you stay active is rare. If you’re an athlete, this is the only place to go.”
