PHILOSOPHY

There are many levels to the human body and many approaches to releasing pain, tension and "dis-ease" from the body.  One important factor is finding the source of the problem, which may lie far from the painful site.  I like to work in such a way as to find the source, and then work with various techniques to help the patient release this area and the areas of pain, as well as to assist the patient in establishing new patterns of behavior, posture, and movement that are healthier for them and for their overall well-being through the practice of Physical Therapy.
