“We've had success with patients with orthopedic, fibromyalgia, Lyme, migraines and digestive issues, especially those who haven't found relief at other PT offices due to lack of individualized care. We offer one hour one-on-one treatments with a licensed physical therapist. Manual therapy is used rather than machines to allow us the opportunity to really understand what's going on with YOUR body. Most treatments end with customized exercises to increase your function and potential. We continually strive to make your treatment as efficient yet comprehensive as possible.

Integrative Manual Therapy gives me the tools to assess how different body systems are interacting; the treatment is then directed at the cause, not just the symptoms. The gentle myofascial release techniques often lead to comments like "I don't know what you did but I feel better!"

I share the 2nd floor with Black Rock Pilates. Patients often "graduate" to participating in Pilates with fully certified instructors with over 30 years teaching experience. My patients' needs are communicated to the instructor ensuring they got a customized workout, rather than just being a face at a gym.”
