Back to Function

What Back to Function does

Back to Function is a multi-disciplinary musculoskeletal and wellness clinic founded in 2004 by Dr. Chad Moreau (DC, PRC) in Lomita, California. The practice provides elite-level chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and postural restoration to busy active people and professional athletes in the South Bay Los Angeles region. Its service portfolio is anchored by three core modalities: chiropractic adjustments, manual soft tissue therapy, and Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) methodology, with Dr. Moreau being only the second Doctor of Chiropractic in the world to earn the PRC credential. The clinic complements these core services with private one-on-one Reformer Pilates sessions (PRI-trained instruction), fitness and personal training, nutritional coaching (Precision Nutrition-certified), and FDA-cleared Shockwave Therapy (EPAT) using a Storz Medical D-Actor device. Additional wellness programs include the BTF Metabolic Optimization Program, a 14-Day Liver Cleanse protocol, and ZRT saliva hormone testing.

The clinic operates a direct-to-consumer professional services model, generating revenue through per-visit treatment fees across its multi-disciplinary service mix. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; patients book appointments by phone (310-534-1900) or through online forms, with downloadable client intake forms available on the website. Customer acquisition relies on a hybrid of professional athlete endorsements and testimonials (LA Kings, LA Dodgers, LA Lakers, Edmonton Oilers, USC Athletics; named testimonials from Jarrett Stoll, Sloane Stephens, Aaron Wexler, Michael Pierce, and Christian Rado), content marketing through blog and YouTube, and active social media presence on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. The practice is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped, with no external investors, funding rounds, or parent company disclosed.

The clinical team comprises Dr. Chad Moreau (founder, DC, PRC), Dr. Matt Heisig (DC, joined 2021, PRI and Stecco Fascial Manipulation trained), Whitney Salcer-Sulentor (PRI-certified Pilates and Precision Nutrition coach), and Dr. Vincent Ibanez (sports chiropractor, joined 2017). The single clinic location at 2383 Lomita Blvd. #115, Lomita, CA 90717 operates Monday through Friday 7am–7pm and Saturday 9am–2pm, serving clients from across the Palos Verdes Peninsula and Beach City Areas including Long Beach, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Torrance. The clinic has remained at a single location for over twenty years, expanding service offerings and clinical headcount incrementally without geographic expansion.
