Holistic Physical Therapy for Optimal Health and Healing

In my early years of practice, I noticed that many patients were being underserved due to the siloed nature of healthcare specialties. Too often, doctors and specialists only focus on a single area of the body, missing the bigger picture of overall health.

A key moment in my career occurred when a patient came to me for physical therapy due to a lower body injury. During our session, I learned that she was also experiencing debilitating stomach cramps, a symptom often overlooked. By asking questions about her lifestyle, medical history, and overall well-being, I recognized the signs of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome—an important diagnosis that had been missed by her cardiologist, gastroenterologist, and orthopedic doctor. This experience reinforced my belief that healthcare needs to view the body as a whole, where every system is interconnected.

A Modern Approach to Physical Therapy

With expertise in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience and the myofascial system, I work closely with patients of all ages to uncover the root causes of their pain and dysfunction. My goal is to help patients achieve better function, greater mobility, and a pain-free life. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, injury rehabilitation, or movement limitations, my focus is on treating the whole body and promoting long-term wellness.

I believe in the power of listening to my patients and taking the time to fully understand their health history and lifestyle. This allows me to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs, ensuring the best outcomes.

I do not want patients to fall through the cracks of our healthcare system
