The SMARTCore® Method™ was developed by Kaylee Cahoon, BCSI, ATSI, LMT, CPI.

Kaylee is a nationally recognized Movement Educator, internationally board certified Structural Integration Practitioner and Presenter, professional elite level Athlete Body Coach, former internationally touring professional modern dancer, former television and theater choreographer, and a teacher of teachers. Kaylee’s 40 years of training in various somatic movement methods such as the Pilates Method, Feldenkrais Method® (Currently a trainee), Ideokinesis, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and Laban Movement as well as her own movement explorations and methods combined with a focus on biotensegrity, anatomy, physics, and neuroscience, provide the infrastructure for her perceptive and integrative teachings and work.

Kaylee approaches movement, balance, and fitness through the nervous system instead of the muscular system because ‘muscles don’t move themselves.’ This approach differs from the standard fitness model and athletic training with a focus on ‘how’ movement occurs. Kaylee teaches her own developed courses in both manual and movement approaches such as Movement Specificity ™, Structural Functional Bodywork’™, and mentors manual and movement practitioners in her work. She is known throughout the professional sports world for her ability to bring athletes back to their natural connection with movement which helps with injury prevention and limits soreness and strain throughout their seasons. Her regular pro athletes are the best of the best and are known themselves for breaking performance records, coming back stronger after injury, never missing a game or snap throughout consecutive seasons, and for having very long professional careers.

Kaylee works with a wide variety of populations from high-profile professional athletes, dancers and entertainers, to people with diagnosed medical issues such as MS, traumatic brain injury, pediatric neuromuscular conditions, and both acute and chronic pain patterns. The medical community often refers patients to Kaylee that have exhausted what Western Medicine has to offer them. Looking and working with the body through the lens Kaylee uses, allows her work to achieve outstanding results across many populations.
