Physical Therapy* and Wellness
Conditions and Areas of Expertise
A comprehensive approach allows us to treat a wide range of common and complex issues:
Pain & Mobility
Joint pain, including the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, and more.
Neck, upper, and lower back pain. (If traditional physical therapy hasn’t worked for you in the past, know that I treat the core differently for lasting results!)
Balance deficits and falls prevention.
Therapist-assisted joint mobilization and stretching.
Performance & Prevention
Improving Core Stability and Strength: I utilize a unique, effective core method that is adaptable. We can work it into your existing fitness routine or create a custom exercise program just for you.
Posture correction and body mechanics training.
Help starting, troubleshooting, or advancing an existing fitness routine.
Addressing minor aches and pains to prevent progression into chronic issues.
Specialized Core & Pelvic Health
Incontinence or leaking that interferes with your daily activities.
Pelvic pain or coccyx (tailbone) pain.
Pain or dysfunction during the pregnancy or postpartum period (including diastasis recti).
Digestive issues such as chronic constipation or diarrhea.
Managing movement-related menopausal symptoms.
Helping You Thrive
I offer two distinct approaches to support your journey to better health:
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is focused on solving problems that are currently interfering with your daily life and essential functions. This means if a condition is making it difficult to do your job, care for your family or home, sleep well, or engage in your normal activities, we treat it.
Wellness & Prevention Visits
Wellness visits are proactive. These sessions focus on prevention and optimizing your health to develop a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. This might involve improving core stability, enhancing posture, increasing flexibility, boosting overall strength, or addressing minor aches and pains before they start to interfere with your daily life.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a highly effective clinical treatment that uses a very fine needle to rapidly reduce pain and restore function. By targeting areas like muscle trigger points, fascia, joints, and nerve pathways, it directly addresses your unique pain and dysfunction. This process works by improving blood flow to the area and promoting the body's natural anti-inflammatory response.
Your safety is our top priority and guides every part of your personalized treatment plan.
Dry needling can be incorporated as part of a physical therapy or wellness treatment plan or as a stand alone treatment.

Buddy System
Friends that leak together, should go to therapy together! Problems with pelvic health (including incontinence/leaking, pain, digestive issues, etc.) are very common, but they are not normal! You don’t have to live with them, but I know the thought of talking to someone about these issues can be intimidating. With the buddy system you can get treatment for your pelvic issues with the support of a friend! Learn the basics about your pelvic floor and get personalized treatments.
With the Buddy System I will ask you each about your symptoms (this part can be done together or separately) and then you will learn the basics of pelvic health together. We will talk about how everything is supposed to function, what issues you have, and basic exercises to start fixing them!
* Due to Medicare regulations, patients 65 and over cannot be seen for physical therapy. We CAN see you for wellness visits or dry needling! Click here for more information.
What should I expect during my initial evaluation?
This is my chance to really get to know you!
History - I’ll want to know your goals for treatment, when your problem started, what else you have done to work on it, how it has changed, and any other relevant health issues
Measurements - Usually after getting your history I will have a pretty good idea of what is going on. Taking measurements and doing special tests will help me get a better picture. We will occasionally re-check these to make sure we are making progress and to help direct your care.
Assessment - Based on our measurements and your history, I will let you know what I think is going on and give you suggestions for treatments that may help (see below).
Planning - Together we will decide what treatment options are best for you and how frequently you will come in.
Treatment - Your initial evaluation visit is longer so we have plenty of time to start treatment so you can start feeling better right away!
What should I expect from a treatment visit?
Some of the available treatment options are:
Exercises including stretching, core exercises, breathing exercises, movement re-education, and balance training
Manual therapies such as myofascial release, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), assisted stretching, joint mobilization, visceral mobilization, and dry needling
Behavior modification to help with everything from pain to incontinence
Education I want you to really understand your issue so you can manage it independently in the future
