Dr. Evan Osar
Dr. Evan Osar is an internationally recognized lecturer, author, and expert on assessment, manual therapy, movement, and exercise. What makes Dr. Osar’s approach unique is that he has dedicated his life to studying and synthesizing the very best information from the fields of chiropractic and physical rehabilitation, sports medicine, and exercise science.
From this synthesis and through 20 plus years of practical application, he developed the Integrative Movement System™, which is based upon the principles that are the foundation for optimal posture and movement – alignment, breathing, and control.
These principles guide the approach that Dr. Osar and his team at Chicago Integrative Movement Specialists™ utilize with their patients and clients. Dr. Osar and his team specialize in partnering with individuals who are looking to be proactive in taking responsibility for their health while working towards achieving their unique fitness and wellness goals.
Licensed in Wisconsin, Texas and Illinois, Dr. Osar also sees patients throughout the world through virtual visits.

Sara Fisher
Dedicated in her study of the body, Sara began her professional career as a dancer and continued on to receive her personal training certification in 2002 from the American Council on Exercise. Since then she has furthered her study of the body with a certification in perinatal fitness and a certification as an Integrative Movement Specialist in 2009. As of late, much of her continuing education has included emerging research on hypermobility spectrum disorders and perimenopause/menopause.
Early in her career she co-founded Woman Centered Fitness where she designed and taught several fitness classes for women. Since then, she has been published in various books and newsletters on the topic of posture and movement, and in March of 2017, she and Jenice Mattek released their first book What Lies Beneath: the Under-realized Effects of Breast, Abdominal, & Pelvic Surgeries; How They Affect You; & What You Can Do About ItÂ
Recently, she created a line of pre-recorded movement and exercises products, titled A Joint Effort in Strength Building: from the Ground, Up, where each product focuses on one specific joint region while progressively incorporating a full body workout.
Sara works closely with Dr. Evan Osar, Jenice Mattek, and other healthcare professionals to aid clients in moving beyond their posture, movement, and exercise challenges, thereby bridging their “need” activities with their “want” and “love” activities.
Currently, she sees private clients in their Chicago & Lincolnwood clinics and assists Dr. Osar and Jenice Mattek in teaching other health and fitness professionals in the Chicago area and abroad about the Integrative Movement System approach to identifying, addressing, and changing the suboptimal posture and movement patterns that contribute to a person’s tightness, pain, and/or decreased performance. Whether teaching group classes or working one-on-one, she helps her clients meet their health and fitness goals through customized stabilization and movement strategies. When she’s not doing that, Sara enjoys time with her husband, 2 boys, and the family’s fur baby.
