Movement is an important part of life. When you stop being able to move, pain ensues, both physically and mentally. According to the CDC, more than 50 million Americans experience chronic pain, and more than 20 million live with high-impact chronic pain that lasts three months or longer and is accompanied by at least one major activity restriction, such as being unable to go to work or school, or do household chores.
My holistic, full body approach looks for the root of the cause of soft tissue dysfunction and pain. By focusing on the root, I can provide long-term pain relief rather than short term relief of symptoms. I work with you to restore functional movements to your body, so you can reach overhead to that top shelf, squat down to play with your grandchildren, and do that one-legged pose in yoga class that always has you tipping over. These movement therapies also help you understand your body better in order to recover from injuries, prevent new injuries, and help you push your body's performance potential to new heights with improvements in stability and mobility!
