I practice using a holistic, patient-centered approach. All visits include a thorough functional assessment in order to generate a clear diagnosis. It is important to me that we figure out the root of the problem, not just where the pain is. Having the right diagnosis allows us to execute an effective treatment plan. All treatments include hands-on manual therapy and are always one-on-one.

POSTURAL ASSESSMENT
Assessing the natural position of our body tells me a lot about the habitual movement patterns of the individual. This gives me vital information regarding the biomechanical imbalances that are the root of the problem.

ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE (ART) ®
ART® is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement-based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Small traumas and/or overused muscles can create a build-up of scar tissue. This can cause muscles to become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons can cause tendonitis and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness. ART is a hands-on technique that treats the abnormal tissues to remove scar tissue using tension to the specific muscle combined with precise patient movements.

CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS & JOINT MOBILIZATIONS
Loss of range of motion or restriction of movement may be caused by poor joint mechanics. Hands on or instrument assisted (*Activator) gentle manipulation or mobilization of the joint can help restore normal, pain-free motion.

EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
Exercise is a key component in the healing process. Retraining the body to follow correct movement patterns helps to maintain the effects of the treatments and help your body recalibrate for optimal performance.

CONDITIONS TREATED:
I treat a variety of conditions that often occur in combination with each other. Some include:

- Tendinitis/tendinosis
- Foot pain/poor
- mechanics
- Neurological pain
- Carpal tunnel
- Running injuries
- Lower and mid back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Concussion
- Whiplash
- Iliotibial band syndrome
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Poor posture
- And many more!

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST VISIT:
We will discuss your current problem, review your health history, and assess your general lifestyle and wellness goals.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
This includes a focused examination of your current complaint, as well as a holistic view of your entire body.

DIAGNOSIS
I will provide a specific diagnosis and prescribe the most effective treatment to reach your goals. This might include the consultation of other physicians.

TREATMENT
If appropriate, I will provide treatment on the first visit. Treatment could include any of the following: myofascial release, adjustments, mobilizations, assisted stretching,
kinesiotaping, postural, stretching and exercise education and prescription.

TREATMENT PLAN
I will provide you with a personalized report that includes what forms of treatment are recommended, prognosis, a timeline, and of course homework! (aka what you need to do to help yourself).
