Dr. Jeff Almon is the owner of MVMTLAB Sports Performance Clinic and an affiliate faculty member of the University of Western States. He is a Doctor of Chiropractic.

He played college football with the University of Calgary Dinos from 1997 to 2002, co-captaining the team in his last two seasons and graduating with a B.Sc. in Exercise Physiology. He was drafted into the CFL (Canadian Football League) where he played as a fullback, first for the Calgary Stampeders then for the BC Lions. He ended his professional football career in 2004 when he was accepted into the CMCC’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.

Since earning his DC in 2008, Dr. Almon has consulted and treated numerous professional athletes & sports teams, including the Chinese National Speed Skating Team, PGA Tour athletes, Alpine Ski Ontario, FIVB Volleyball athletes, Vancouver Canucks development program, Canadian Women’s soccer team, professional sprint cyclists and multiple Olympic athletes in various disciplines. He is also a coach for the West Vancouver Track & Field Club’s varsity team.

Dr. Jeff founded MVMTLAB in 2013 with a vision to transform the health care industry by changing the way practitioners approach a patient’s pain /injury diagnosis and the subsequent treatment plan. He takes a special interest in complex cases of chronic pain. Dr Jeff treats patients with a focus on dynamic neuromuscular stabilization and reactive stability. Patients play an active role in their own recovery journey. Everyone is welcome - athlete or not.

He is the creator of MVMTLAB’s Neuroplasticity Gym and its two group classes : Ground Control and BAZOOKA. He designed these programs to accelerate an injured patient’s recovery time. Both classes can also serve as a pre-hab protocol to prevent injuries, by detecting imbalances and weaknesses before it is too late. The programs help reset movement patterns and muscle activation capability, thereby returning the brain & body to their pre-injury state. Ground Control is whole-body focused, whereas BAZOOKA is specifically for shoulders.

Dr. Jeff is always excited to share his knowledge and ideas on how to create a more functional human experience.

Dr Jeff works at our Gastown location from Tuesday to Friday, and at our North Vancouver location on Mondays.

Chris is not taking any new patients as of April 2024

Chris Krammer is a Registered Physiotherapist and avid human performance enthusiast.

Chris was born with a brain that wanted to move, explore and push its limits, but it was stuck inside a body that couldn’t quite keep up. With each new sport or physical challenge came a new pain or injury, seemingly without reason. Firmly believing that all puzzles can be solved, Chris found his answers in the gym. Not only did strategic exercise eliminate his pain and help him return to the sports he loved, it helped him reach even higher levels of performance. With a body that could finally keep up with his brain, Chris developed a love for basketball, powerlifting, snowboarding, and outdoor exploration, as well as a deep passion for exercise science.

Realizing there could be no better career than helping others achieve the same physical freedom, Chris attended the University of British Columbia with the goal of becoming a Strength & Performance Specialist, and earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology.

During his studies, Chris worked as a Certified Personal Trainer at Bodyworks UBC and as a Student Strength Coach in the Varsity Gym. It was during this time that he became frustrated, finding that even with effective exercise, there were cases of persistent pain that prevented his clients from participating in their favorite sports and activities, and limited their potential. Realizing that there were more pieces to the pain and performance puzzle, Chris changed course, and earned his Master’s of Physiotherapy from UBC, graduating in 2019. Along the way, he kept a sharp eye out for every bit of information he could find that might be useful, and broadened his understanding of the mind and body by drawing on everything from art and mythology to industry-leading research on flow states and their interaction with pain, performance, and mental health.

Now fully equipped with an extensive exercise background and an ever-deepening holistic understanding of the Human Machine, Chris has joined the team at MVMTLAB. His goal is to share what he’s learned and experienced with his patients, serving as a guide on their rehabilitation journey, and to give each individual the tools they need to take direct control of their health and performance,

Chris treats with a combination of manual therapy and strategic therapeutic exercise. His treatments are designed to help his clients discover flow and reconnect to their bodies, removing pain barriers and opening the door to new levels of performance and a deeper enjoyment of life.

When he isn’t helping people return to their favorite activities, Chris enjoys reading, listening to music, and finding his own moments of flow through climbing, snowboarding, and grappling, as well as exploring multiple creative outlets - including woodwork, painting, and blacksmithing.
