Objective Data for Precise Recovery & Performance Protocols
Objective Data for Precise Recovery & Performance Protocols
At Alpha Health Services, we believe effective treatment begins with precise measurement. The Alpha Precision Recovery Lab brings state-of-the-art physiological testing out of academic research centers and directly into clinical practice.
By evaluating the intersection of your cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, and autonomic nervous systems, we replace guesswork with individualized, evidence-informed recovery blueprints.
Your Facilitator
The Alpha Precision Recovery Lab is founded and facilitated by Dr. Nicholas Moser, DC, FCCS(C), PhD. His doctoral work at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (KITE) focused on facilitating the recovery of the autonomic nervous system, utilizing advanced neuroimaging (electroencephalogram) and cardiopulmonary testing to guide tailored exercise and rehabilitation prescriptions.
Dr. Moser founded the lab to bridge the gap shown in his research: individual responses to rehabilitation are highly variable, and personalized frameworks yield far superior outcomes across everything from persistent post-concussion symptoms to chronic pain.
Today, the lab expands on this foundation with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to measure how your body burns energy (your resting metabolic rate), handles exertion (your ventilatory thresholds and VO2 max), and regulates stress (your autonomic nervous system function via heart rate variability at rest and during exertion). Whether treating complex neck injuries or neurological trauma, he applies this rigorous methodology to help patients regain control of their health.
Exercise is medicine, but only if it is properly individualized and prescribed to the person.

Who The Testing Can Benefit
- Concussion & Brain Injury Recovery: Identify exercise tolerance thresholds to safely initiate sub-symptom aerobic exercise—the gold standard in modern concussion care.
- Autonomic Dysregulation, POTS, long COVID: Track heart rate responses, postural changes, and autonomic tone to build sustainable, graded exercise and lifestyle management plans.
- Unexplained Fatigue & Chronic injury: Gain objective visibility into cardiovascular and metabolic efficiency when standard lab work comes back normal.
- Athletes & Performance Enthusiasts: Establish precise training zones (Aerobic & Anaerobic thresholds) to optimize endurance and understand your metabolic flexibility in order to prevent overtraining, and accelerate recovery.
