What to expect
Central Institute for Human Performance combines proprietary assessments with a team of experienced practitioners who communicate across disciplines to create unique results that other forms of healthcare rarely achieve. CIHP provides distinct care to solve pain and treat the entire person. Watch Master Clinician Dr. Jim George explain what to expect during your visit.
McGill Master Clinicians
Becoming a McGill Master Clinician is rare and has a very high standard. A clinician at this level has the competence to conduct an assessment of a patient’s pain, identify root causes of pain, and execute a therapeutic plan. The cause of pain may be very complex and have elements of mechanics, neurology, personality, psychology, anatomy, load exposure, age, social forces and more. Understanding the pain mechanisms guides the clinician’s approach to lessen pain as the first priority, following by a plan to build a foundation for pain-free activity. Dr. Skaggs collaborated with Professor McGill for 20 years. Dr. Skaggs and Dr. George are 2 of only 18 McGill Master Clinicians in the world.

Testimonials
What clients say about visiting the Institute
Transformative. After ~2 years of trying various clinicians, physicians and ultimately surgery – I was never able to make meaningful progress until I started working with Dr. Skaggs, Tim Sirmon, Greg Hauck and team (I’d like to thank the customer service team for everything as well).
First off, the initial evaluation is very in-depth (I flew in for 3 days) to determine what undesirable attributes are contributing to my particular case. Everything is personalized with specific intention on the particular stage of the process; from the evaluation, to the treatment/rehabilitation plan, to modifications to the program.
I’m constantly in awe of the knowledge, compassion, and synergies of the team – every time I’m in-clinic or working virtually. I’m very grateful for the team and look forward to the rest of my journey.
