I started working with James 6 months ago. I had a bad sciatica crisis, about to go back to Spain for surgery and gave MAT a shot!! Best decision ever. The excercises he recommended make a big difference. I am now working with Milo and that kind of training is a game changer!!!! If you want long term pain free ans healthy strength, that's the path.

Started working w James a few years ago, I was looking for a new MAT practitioner. Since then I have also gotten the most thoughtful and effective workout routines of my life. Every single exercise is so focused on true long-term physical health, making me stronger while also not overloading my body and tolerance.

I’ve never worked with anyone better, him and the team are the best.

As a former personal trainer and current PTA, I have extensive experience with training and exercise methods, ranging from personal training for bodybuilding competitions to geriatric rehabilitation and almost everything in between. My impression of ITI was more than exceptional; having professional and highly qualified personnel, I felt comfortable, excited, and hopeful to be treated at this facility. With the precision of their methods to address my aches, pains, and weaknesses as an avid beach volleyball player and gym enthusiast, it was easy to see that these guys are the real deal. I strongly recommend visiting if you're serious about addressing the ailments holding you back from your ultimate potential.

I have been training with James for a decade. He is the absolute best! As I’ve gotten older, I’ve Incurred lower back pain and went straight to James. MAT is absolutely amazing and if you are in any sort of pain throughout your body don’t wait another second, call James. You’re welcome. Truly life changing!!!

ITI is truly a special place. James is experienced, knowledgeable, passionate and remarkably excellent at identifying the areas that make you weak and helping to transform them into strengths. Not only does he systematically and methodically help you transform your relationship with exercise and overall physical health, he makes it an exciting and transformative journey. I’ve been working with James and ITI for 3 years and I’m not the same person I was before I met him. My relationship with exercise is emphatically different and my body is firing on all cylinders. I can’t say enough about how great he, Milo and Morley are to work with. They’ve turned exercise into medicine and I will continue to work with them for years to come because they are all incredible people and always put their clients needs ahead of their own.

I’m a 48 year old male, and married with a kids. I came to ITI with a torn meniscus, and the need to get my knee stronger. James informed me of the process, and I took it head on. Not only were my symptoms alleviated, but happy to say that I’m pain free. I’m now a full devotee of ITI as I continue to improve my strength capabilities, and stay pain free. I love everything about ITI, and the staff. They use cutting edge modalities, and are scientists when it comes to improving your overall health and well-being. I highly recommend that you pay them a visit; you won’t be disappointed.

Hands down the best performance enhancing program that translates to everyday life. James gets down to work and get you free from injury, enhances your athletic performance. MAT is the real mind muscle connection that teaches the body how to properly function at a high level.

James Balazs has truly rebuilt my body from the ground up. I have a rigorous training schedule as a beach volleyball player and my body was breaking down - back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and more! After seeing James and getting weekly neuromuscular treatments (MAT), 4x/week loading sessions, and nutrition coaching, I can officially say that I am playing and living PAIN FREE!!! This is the first experience I've had that ensures confidence that I can continue to play the sport I love and live an active life without surgery on the horizon. To be an athlete does not have to mean you need surgery and bodily repairs every few years and won't be able to move pain free when you're older. YOU CAN LIVE A PAIN FREE AND ACTIVE LIFE!!
