Dr. Buhler served as the team sports chiropractor for the Utah Jazz professional basketball team for 26 years. In addition to being on the medical team, he has had a successful practice in Utah for the last 35 years. In June of 2002, he established the A.M.I.T. ® Clinic in Kaysville, Utah.

Dr. Brandon Imada was born and raised on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, with his life revolving around family, sports, surfing, and the ocean. An avid waterman, Dr. Imada spent his youth competing in nearly every water sport, including surfing, swimming, Waterpolo, and outrigger canoe paddling. This fostered the active lifestyle that he continues to live today and hopefully, the rest of his life.

Growing up in Hawaii, Dr. Imada was molded by the rich culture, while also witnessing the many challenges faced within the Hawaiian community. Some of those difficulties include the lack of accessibility to quality healthcare and the lack of information that was available to empower individuals to live a healthy, holistic, adaptable lifestyle. This problem still persists today, and it is the reason why Dr. Imada has pursued his career in healthcare.

At the University of Hawaii, at Mānoa, he earned his B.A. in Biology, with the goal to eventually become a doctor. During this time in school, he worked at various hospitals and clinics throughout Hawaii, gaining valuable insights into the medical approach of managing these challenges. Doctor Imada soon came to realize that the current state of healthcare was more focused on managing symptoms and crisis care, while not much emphasis was being placed on preventing these issues from occurring in the first place. It was a frustrating realization because he knew more could be done for patients. After many soul searching and exploring the many pathways of healthcare, Dr. Imada came to the conclusion that he could best serve his community as a chiropractic physician and soon began his education at Life Chiropractic College West, in the San Francisco Bay Area.

During his chiropractic education, he dedicated himself to the art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic’s natural, drug-free approach to healthcare, learning how to keep one’s body functioning as it was designed to do. He specialized in human biomechanics and neuromuscular rehabilitation modalities, becoming a certified Foundation Training Trainer. These skills allowed him to work with individuals of the Life West Rugby team, Olympic skateboarders at the Dew Tour, to professional surfers on Hawaii’s North Shore. Currently, he is pursuing a Postdoctoral Fellowship with Dr. Craig F. Buhler, where he will continue to develop his skills of managing athletic injuries and elevating human performance. He aspires to eventually bring this game-changing work back to the Hawaiian Islands, to empower his community to live well.

“My mission is to empower the expression of health and vitality within my community; to foster a sense of stoke and flow, ultimately allowing us all to enjoy the wave of life, whether you’re a surfer or not. Honoring our bodies, loving our families, community and environment is what we do, which is why staying connected from the inside-out is key.” – Dr. Brandon Imada

Dr. Kelly Farmer is a husband and father to 4 amazing blonde girls. In his free time, he spends time at the lake with his girls and playing at parks with them on swing sets. He enjoys cycling, hiking, pickleball, mountain biking, and anything outdoors. In the office, he is always telling dad jokes and looking to learn more jokes from his patients.

Dr. Farmer started his journey in the healing arts by graduating from the University of Utah Athletic Training Program and spending 2 years working directly with the football team traveling all over the PAC12 with home and away games. He witnessed a plethora of sports injuries and experienced different rehabilitation techniques as he managed to care for the football athletes. Dr. Farmer was selected in 2015 to intern with the Tennessee Titans where he worked with professional athletes, took care of athletes while on the road, and learned more cutting-edge techniques in sports medicine and injury rehabilitation.

During his time in the Bay Area for chiropractic school, Dr. Farmer was the Head Athletic Trainer for 6 semi-professional men’s and women’s Rugby teams which he oversaw the coordination of team medical needs.  His role with the teams took him all over the world from Hong Kong to New York for tournaments and events.

While working in the sports medicine realm in Utah, Dr. Farmer heard of Dr. Buhler and the AMIT technique because of the results Dr. Buhler achieves with his patients. It wasn’t until Dr. Farmer found himself in chiropractic school that he inquisitively researched Dr. Buhler and the AMIT technique. Dr. Farmer has been certified in the AMIT method since 2019 and has been working in the clinic with Dr. Buhler since October of 2020. He has worked on all types of patients from Olympians, NFL players, and ballerinas to active moms, bodybuilders, and high school athletes. He loves helping facilitate healing for everyone from adults to energetic kids. There are few sports injuries that Dr. Farmer has not seen or has experienced managing from a sports medicine perspective and he has many tools in his toolbelt to assist his patients in healing.
