Dr. Todd Pickman is the Clinic Director and owner of Gonstead Spine & Wellness in Meridian, Idaho. He leads the practice with a distinctive three-pillar clinical model that blends the Gonstead Method, Chiropractic BioPhysics®, and functional movement–based corrective exercise. This integrated approach restores segmental integrity, improves structural posture, and enhances movement patterns so patients can return to an active, resilient life.
Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Pickman is the founder of MoveNow University, an education platform that trains chiropractors worldwide to integrate functional movement and corrective exercise into their clinics. All MoveNow seminars to date have been delivered exclusively at the Gonstead Spine & Wellness flagship clinic, where he and his team have taught more than a dozen immersive, hands-on events. MoveNow University now supports over 200 clinics globally, and doctors from across the country routinely travel to Meridian for advanced training in the Segment-Posture-Movement model.
A meaningful full-circle moment in Dr. Pickman’s career has been the addition of Dr. Beau Warlick to the practice. The two first met when Dr. Pickman was 19 years old at the Gonstead Seminars, where Dr. Warlick—already a respected instructor—became his earliest mentor in chiropractic. Years later, their professional paths have reunited, and Dr. Warlick now practices alongside him, bringing decades of experience, decompression expertise, and a shared commitment to precise, evidence-based care.
Dr. Pickman also brings a lifelong background in strength training, weightlifting, and fitness. In 2019, he completed and obtained his StrongFirst Russian Kettlebell Level II Instructor certification, and he has integrated the principles learned from that rigorous training directly into the clinic’s rehabilitation programs. These strength-focused movement frameworks help patients not only regain function but build lasting stability, capability, and confidence as part of their long-term wellness plan.
Behind the scenes, his wife Linda, the love of his life, has been essential to the development, growth, and day-to-day success of the clinic. Her organization, operational support, and unwavering commitment ensure that the team can perform at the highest level and that the clinic continues to move forward with clarity and momentum.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Pickman treasures his time with his son, Grayson, who is one of the greatest joys of his life. They share interests such as long-range shooting, firearms training, and hands-on projects—moments that reflect the close bond they share and the values of discipline, skill, and curiosity that Dr. Pickman is proud to pass on to him.
Today, Dr. Pickman continues to advance spinal health, mentor clinicians, refine systems, and lead a clinic that serves both as a center for patient care and a national teaching facility.
