I utilize my education and experience in physical therapy, yoga and wellness to help you achieve your healthiest life. Whether you are working with an acute or chronic injury, or interested in prevention - I can help. I have spent almost thirty years in the physical therapy profession honing my knowledge and skills for treating orthopedic injuries and am considered an expert in my field.
See bio for details. In addition to looking at injuries and pain from a biomechanical model, I will look at how your understanding of pain and injury is helping or hindering your recovery and will work with pain education and mind body awareness for maximum effect. Having worked with persons of all ages and ability levels has provided me with many techniques and approaches for treating injuries and maximizing recovery.
From olympic caliber athletes to teens with sports injuries to senior citizens with mobility issues - I have experience with them all. The common denominator is that people want to get what they need from me, and learn how to help themselves.

I noticed many years ago that patients with scoliosis seemed to get sorted in with general back care guidlines.
This simply does not work as the issues related to scoliosis are unique and require a different approach for maintenance, care and rehabilitation when there is pain.
Schroth method for scoliosis care is the top method of sophisticated exercies and education, and it needs to be incorporated.
Over the last 15 years I have worked on developing my skills and knowledge to better serve my patients with scoliosis.

What is the Schroth Method for Scoliosis?
In my practice I incorporate Schroth principles to empower you to keep you spine healthy and stable.
This often results in improved function, decreased pain if applicable, and a general sense of a taller more lifted and supported spine.
We can structure your Schroth program to fit your needs, based on your scoliosis and your schedule.
I will make my recommendations and we will work together to create a plan that works for you!
Telehealth sessions available - feel free to contact me if you have questions about how this works.
