Your recovery begins with a comprehensive physical therapy evaluation to identify all the contributing factors, not just your current pain. Often, the root cause is not the most immediately painful issue that prompts someone to seek help. Contributing factors include your past medical history, previous surgeries and injuries, physical activity level, amount of stress, occupational demands, and the quality of how each part of your body moves and functions. Additionally, techniques such as dry needling may be incorporated into your personalized plan, which is customized to achieve your goals, providing short-term relief and long-lasting functional outcomes through therapeutic exercise.

A full hour of one-on-one treatment guides you toward optimal recovery. My tailored approach includes a comprehensive physical therapy evaluation and integrates essential modalities such as manual therapy, dry needling, and therapeutic exercise to help you achieve your goals. We will focus on targeted strengthening to address postural and movement pattern correction. Additionally, I provide guidance on lifestyle factors that could impact recovery—such as sitting and sleep positions, body mechanic errors, and tension-holding habits. Together, we will create the path to lasting relief and help you regain an active, robust lifestyle.
When appropriate, dry needling can sometimes provide dramatic changes in muscle function and pain relief. These 30-minute sessions can be utilized to enhance your recovery between physical therapy evaluations or to maintain relief after completing traditional physical therapy rehab. Additionally, incorporating therapeutic exercise can further support your progress.
For those who have recovered from an injury, therapeutic exercise continues the healing process and builds resilience against future injuries. For others, it serves as a proactive means of injury prevention. Through personalized programs, including a thorough physical therapy evaluation, I ensure proper technique and body mechanics, empowering individuals not only to heal but also to move safely and efficiently. This approach reduces the risk of injury while promoting long-term fitness and well-being. Additionally, I incorporate techniques like dry needling when appropriate to enhance recovery.
As a lifelong athlete, I have been competing in triathlons since 2007, completing a half ironman in 2014. I am certified as a Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine and trained in STOTT Pilates.
