When you first step into Living with Motion Chiropractic, it feels like you’re entering a friend’s light, airy living room, rather than a typical cold, sterile doctor’s office. In the waiting room, planked flooring frames a contemporary area rug. Cool, buff-colored walls set off a navy couch with modern lines. Then there’s the check-in counter—not your standard-issue, bland medical office laminate workspace. It’s a big, handsome piece of walnut sealed in high-gloss epoxy with an edge that retains the wood’s natural curves. 

“It’s one of the first things people notice,” smiles Dr. Luke Reineck, who opened the doors to his new location on Branch Hill-Guinea Pike on January 2. 

The walnut countertop was built by Dr. Reineck’s dad, a retired dentist in northwest Ohio. 

“It adds a personal touch,” Dr. Reineck explains. 

And a personal touch is only fitting, considering Dr. Reineck’s new office used to be a single-family home. He and his wife bought the building back in 2020, with the goal of one day turning it into the completely reimagined space it is today. 

The treatment rooms still convey the warmth of that home. In most of the rooms, the walls don’t close at the ceiling, adding a sense of openness while retaining privacy. Natural light is abundant throughout the practice—there’s a window in every room. 

“Having all these windows is my favorite part,” says Dr. Reineck. “At the old office, the only windows we had were at the entrance.”

But as with any renovation project, converting the residence into a medical building was not without surprises—like when Dr. Reineck decided to move a blue spruce before the space it occupied became a parking lot. 

“It was so easy to dig out,” Dr. Reineck recalls. “We never hit clay or rock.”

Turns out, that’s a problem if you want asphalt to support the weight of parked cars. The contractors ended up installing a fine wire mesh over the ground as added reinforcement.

Bringing the 1989 home itself up to commercial code was a major undertaking, calling for new wiring and HVAC. The floors were reinforced to bear the weight of treatment equipment. Original walls were knocked down, and the floor plan was rearranged. Dr. Reineck’s office is where the kitchen used to be. All done with the aim of creating a true family-friendly space for patients of all ages.

“We wanted it to have a good energy about it,” explains Dr. Reineck.

Sounds like a natural fit for a practice that takes a holistic approach to health. Besides chiropractic care, Living with Motion also offers a host of wellness services, including functional nutritional therapy, medical massage, dry needling, and shockwave therapy. 

As part of her nutritional therapy services, Emily Hunter, FNTP, offers Nutrition Response Testing, a non-invasive way of using reflex points to analyze body and organ function. Physical therapist Daniel Baute, PT, DPT, OCS, provides dry needling, which uses thin monofilament needles to help relieve neuromusculoskeletal pain. Laura Bell, LMT, the practice’s long-time licensed massage therapist, also specializes in cupping therapy. 

So if you’re ever wondering if there’s a doctor in the house, at Living with Motion there is! Inside this former residence just down the road from the Miami Township Kroger, Dr. Reineck and his team have created a warm and welcoming home—for health and wellness.
