About Me
Spinal conditions are one of my favorite areas of the body to rehabilitate (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and SI joints), however, I treat any orthopedic condition with great joy, and neurological conditions also!
I value the biopsychosocial model as well as evidence informed treatment strategies while enjoying the ability to help my clients get to the root cause of their problems.
Sometimes, the fine tuning details of vestibular and pelvic floor training can make all the difference!
Many times, my clients have told me that they have sought help for their orthopedic conditions without success, and that my attentiveness and tailored approach made all the difference for them - I hope to provide the same success story for you!
