At Avanzaré, we believe healing begins with a proactive collaboration between practitioner and patient. We assist our patients in this endeavor through our multi-faceted therapeutic approach which includes chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, functional rehabilitation, and movement education. Avanzaré provides a safe and nurturing environment where healing can take place, and we encourage patients to trust their bodies, minds, and instincts on their journey back to health.

Here at Avanzaré, we have decided on a co-operative approach with synergistic businesses and skills coming together under one roof supplying support and bringing our patients/clients optimal care resulting in increased health and performance.

We are excited to welcome Adolfo Liu to Avanzare`. Adolfo recently graduated magna cum laude from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward. He is also fully certified in Active Release Techniques.

His road to chiropractic has been a combination of his interests in sports, his love for anatomy, and, he tells us, his affinity for sustaining injuries. Sports have always been a big part of his life. Along with the usual sports such as wrestling, football, and baseball, he also ventured into martial arts, snowboarding, and indoor rock climbing, and was named the 1993 Tat Mau Wong Junior International Lion Dance Champion. Every injury he sustained became a learning experience, researching the anatomy, cause, and treatment methods. In the midst of his undergraduate education in Kinesiology, he experienced the power of chiropractic. Although limited by injuries sustained in the past, chiropractic and A.R.T. have enabled him to continue to participate in many sports.
This is what brings him here to Avanzare. Adolfo invites you to join him and work together to achieve your full health and optimal functioning.
“ Life is motion, let’s keep you moving. It’s a great feeling.”
