Business Development Manager

BRENT MCFARLANE

I watched my parents provide pain management solutions without the need for opioids for 30+ years.

Pain Management Phoenix AZ Laurie McFarlane

Occupational Therapist

Laurie McFarlane, OTR/L

Laurie is an Occupational Therapist, former professional gymnast, and founder of AniMotion™ children's exercise program and DVD. Laurie's motto is 'Play with a Purpose', and it is her goal to get kids moving.

Laurie believes that movement is a building block of life. AniMotion™ challenges children to move their bodies in new ways that lead to a more fully integrated nervous system and make them more ready to respond to other physical activities like gymnastics, soccer, and baseball. Whether it is hiking, skiing, fishing or simply doing household chores, kids who are doing the kinds of exercises demonstrated in AniMotion™ are better prepared by the brain/body connection that helped them to learn new physical skills. Balance, agility, and confidence grow as children gain overall coordination and control.

Laurie is married to Dr. Jay McFarlane, D.C. and they have three grown boys who are successful, active, and athletic.
