SERVICES

I treat a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions over the adult age spectrum. I particularly enjoy working with individuals 40+ as they experience changing body conditions and needs. Through education and instruction on proper movement techniques, I help people understand their unique body type and tendencies so that they may improve their overall function and ability to do the things they want to do in life. 

 

Treatment sessions are one on one in my home studio. All patients will receive a comprehensive assessment of the body with increased focus on particular areas of concern. Based on examination findings and patient goals, the treatment plan will consist of individualized components of the below listed interventions, at a frequency that works for you. 

Telehealth sessions are also offered for those who feel more comfortable staying home at this time.

Initial Evaluation

All patients who wish to work with me will undergo a comprehensive evaluation with increased focus on particular areas of interest/concern. This evaluation will help me to create an individualized treatment program for you based on examination findings and patient goals. The majority of the first session will be used for evaluation purposes, though there will be a small portion at the end to initiate treatment, exercise instruction and patient education.

*  Back / Posture Education

*  Pain Neuroscience Education

*  Relevant Anatomy / Physiology 

*  Potential etiologies and/or exacerbating factors contributing to current conditions

Modifications for Exercise Classes​​​​​​​​​​

Taking exercise classes is a great way to enjoy exercise, and there are many benefits to taking classes of all types. Learning how to modify positions and/or activities during classes can help potentially prevent further or future injury or exacerbation of current issues.
