About
- Licensed Physical Therapist & Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist with post-doctoral training in pelvic health and women's health
- Certified mat and reformer Pilates instructor and teach at Evolution Pilates.
Philosophy:
I take a comprehensive approach to addressing pain, function and performance. In developing a plan of care, a person's movement history, unique experiences, beliefs, and preferences are all important.
While hands-on therapy has a place, I emphasize education and active techniques to facilitate lasting change and empowerment.
