Treatment Philosophy
My job as a physical therapist is like that of a detective. Seek out the faulty movement patterns and restore symmetry to the body. When you come for your initial visit, a one hour evaluation will be conducted in order to determine your movement dysfunction. Then a combination of manual therapy and yoga/pilates based muscle re-education will be used to address your imbalance. Manual therapy techniques include myofascial release, joint mobilization, and osteopathic muscle energy. The therapeutic yoga/pilates session that follows will be individualized according to your specific diagnosis and ability level. Each session concludes with the prescription of a customized home program designed to complement the treatment process and quicken your recovery time.
The more awareness you have of how your body moves, the more control you gain over your total health. Let me diagnose your movement dysfunction and prescribe a plan of care addressing your total well-being. Your goals are unique and your treatment will be individualized utilizing the most recent advances in mind-body medicine.
Please feel free to email with questions regarding whether your particular condition is treated.
