Certified Manual Physical Therapist

Manual therapy is a structured approach to hands on mobilization and manipulation of the muscles, bones and joints. I provide manual therapy through my certification from the North American Institute of Manual Therapy.

Trigger Point Dry Needling

Dry needling is a skilled approach where a fine acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle to restore blood flow and reduce muscular tension. It works as a reset for the muscle and can be combined with electrical stimulation for further benefits. I completed my training through Kinetacore.

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy 

Blood flow restriction is a modern approach that is used to create muscle hypertrophy and reduce atrophy, especially post operatively. It is achieved though a blood pressure cuff with the goal of mimicking an anaerobic muscular environment. It allows you to get stronger quickly and maintain strength. I completed my training through Owen's Recovery. 

Weight Lifting and Strenght Training

Strength Training 

Proper strength training is often overlooked and can be a key component to recovery and injury reduction. I was a student athletic trainer in college and have experience working with athletes to get them stronger and back in the game. 

Post operative care
Holistic diet and nutrition

Post Operative Care

I am well versed in treating patients acutely post op to begin the recovery process early and get a jump start on rehabilitation. I am committed to bridging the gap between physical therapy and return to sport. 

Holistic Care

I believe in a holistic approach to physical therapy and rehabilitation. This means a healthy diet, good hydration, quality sleep and good mental health. I will be checking in on these aspects of your life to make sure we optimize your ability to heal and get you back to doing what you love.
