Whether due to neuropathies, orthopedic issues, or a neurologic disorder, I can offer balance assessments and a fall risk profile to design a tailored exercise program to benefit your static and dynamic balance, decrease fall risk, and improve transfers to allow greater access and function at home and in the community.
I can offer Vestibular therapy for persisting dizziness or other conditions affecting the inner ear, and visual integration that may be contributing to your dizziness or disequilibrium. I can provide manual correction with canalith repositioning for spinning and vertigo associated with BPPV.
After a thorough evaluation and assessment of the origin and drivers of your pain, limitation, or dysfunction, we will work together to design a treatment plan with goals specific to you. I can apply several types of manual skills to make some physiological changes to improve motion and decrease pain. We can discuss methods of providing orthopedic support with the use of taping, bracing, belts, or orthotics. With the proper verbal and tactile cuing, I will instruct you in an individualized exercise prescription program for improving your mobility, strength, conditioning, or endurance needs.
An approach of training the individual by developing a program based on their personal needs and goals. I offer the skill of designing a fitness program to increase your strength, flexibility, balance, conditioning, and function to a higher level with the appropriate coaching and modifications as needed, while considering any limitations or other health conditions that exist. I have extensive experience and knowledge of physiology and biomechanics and will safely monitor your movement and tolerance. I am able to modify and implement the necessary changes on the spot depending on your presentation for that moment in time while still progressing toward the overall goals. Each day is unique, and each workout should be as well.
A variety of manual therapy techniques are an integral part of treating any of these conditions. Promoting spinal alignment is paramount and will help decrease the postural strain and stressors on these complex regions. Note that core strengthening and postural training are lifelong endeavors.
With chronic pain, learning coping methods and pain modulation are key components in striving to increase your functional activity tolerance. Slow guided movements, pacing, and interval training are important strategies as well. Persistence and compliance are key in addressing these often times recurring conditions, or when symptoms in the least are trying to be maintained. Multiple disciplines are often part of a person’s successful maintenance, and I can provide a valuable part in your care and journey.
When is comes to the brain and conditions that affect its processing, the presentation is impressively complex. Based on personal and clinical experience, it is well established that these conditions have widespread symptoms, issues, and timelines. You will learn valuable information regarding expectations, coping strategies, exercises ( visual, vestibular, balance, conditioning) and guidance from me based on your unique set of deficits and limitations. Let me part of your support system through this trying time with evidence to show your progress.
There are multiple issues that are related to pelvic floor dysfunction which can be addressed with various therapy techniques, education, and strategies.

SI ( Sacroilliac) dysfunction is an often overlooked component to lumbar, hip, and pelvic girdle pain which can limit your sitting, walking, standing, and sleeping tolerance.
