Martial Arts Sports Performance
MsE Coach, I2SM Boston

He earned his Jr. Black Belt in Shotokan Karate at the age of 12, his adult Black Belt at 15 and his second degree at 16.
Alex came across MsE as a client at the age of 17. It was “a last ditch effort to remedy the tear in [his] hip labrum, having seen no effect from traditional physical therapy. He remembers feeling a tangible difference in his body within two session, and has been utilizing, learning, and coaching MsE ever since. He became a Junior Certified Musculosystematic Engineer in 2018 and has been a member of the I2SM Boston staff ever since. In his own words, what Alex likes the most about MsE at this point is that he is “not constantly in pain” and “able to return to [his] sport fully and outperform [his own self]” along with “the knowledge to prevent needless injuries like the one [he] suffered.”
When he’s not at I2SM Boston, Alex is broadening his Martial Arts knowledge by learning Kenpo, Jeet Kun Do, Armas Kali, and Jiu-Jitsu at the Massachusetts Academy of Martial arts as well as Muay Thai at True MMA. He also works as a metal fabricator and welder out of his father’s race shop, Hall’s Custom of Brockton, Massasschusetts.
OUR FOUNDER’S STORY
Sage Osprey, MEMsE
Sage Osprey is the founder of the International Institute of Sport & Movement and the creator of Musculosystematic Engineering(TM).
As a young man, Sage was an elite three-sport athlete, excelling in football, hockey, and most especially baseball, which he chose out of the three to pursue at the collegiate level at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. After a successful start to his collegiate career, Sage suffered a serious injury towards the conclusion of his sophomore season.
He was operated on by one of the most renowned sports orthopedists in the world and received elite-level physical therapy, and strength training during his rehabilitation.
Sage dedicated himself to working tirelessly on his rehab process, pouring himself into fulfilling the guidelines and recommendations of those treating him, only to suffer the same catastrophic injury when cleared to return to the field of play. Sage dedicated himself to working tirelessly on his rehab process, pouring himself into fulfilling the guidelines and recommendations of those treating him, only to suffer the same catastrophic injury when cleared to return to the field of play.
This effectively ended Sage’s high-level baseball career and destroyed his chance to achieve a lifelong goal, to become a professional athlete.
Not one to wallow in misfortune, this moment created a drive in Sage to seek answers to some central questions. Why, if an injured athlete otherwise in peak physical condition was treated by the best in the world and did everything asked of him, if not more, did the very same injury recur? Where did the approach miss the mark? These questions sent Sage on a quest for knowledge, leading him to learn from some of the most renowned human movement specialists on the planet, voraciously consuming data from visionaries like Igor Burdenko, John Davies, and Pete Egoscue to create a comprehensive and unique approach to human movement. The system that Sage synthesized from this data he named Musculosystematic Engineering.
What made Sage’s creation of the MsE system so revolutionary rested in its universal application. It became clear to Sage early on that this was more than functional movement, more than physical therapy, ,ore than chronic pain relief, more than sports performance, and more than fitness. It was a unifying thread throughout all of these areas. And so Sage set about to applying MsE to these various arenas and to teaching anyone truly interested in healing and helping their fellow human beings how to use MsE to do so.
In 2008, Sage opened what would become I2SM Boston in the heart of Boston’s historic North End. Over the next ten years, I2SM Boston became one of the region’s best kept secrets in the world of functional movement, pain relief, and sports performance helping thousands of people in the Boston area achieve their goals and experience a pain-free life. In this time, Sage continued to gather data, improving and perfecting MsE’s theory and application.
In 2018 and in partnership with The FootDoctor, Sage and I2SM expanded MsE’s reach internationally and to some of the most elite professional athletes on the planet. Although, no longer operating in direct conjunction with one another, Sage & The FootDoctor remain close friends. Today, The FootDoctor and many FootDoctor Sports practitioners and performance trainers across the world continue to make use of MsE as an important piece of their approach and delivery of service.
Currently, Sage has left I2SM Boston to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests in business and life, although he remains available for high level private consult, business consultations, and is always a regular and dynamic fixture at I2SM educational events, continuing to guide the next generation of Musculosystematic Engineers.
