About

I am passionate about helping people live healthy lives without suffering. I love to learn new ways to help prevent disability.

I have over 30 years of experience practicing Physical Therapy.  I help people with a variety of pain and movement problems, including but not limited to low back pain, SI joint disorders, neck pain, whiplash-associated disorders, concussions, headaches, TMJ disorders, myofascial pain, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and cancer treatment side effects.

I listen to my patients to identify and address the root cause of pain and dysfunction. I often begin with gentle manual therapy techniques to restore a more relaxed muscle tone and correct fascia and muscle imbalances. I teach optimal movement. I guide my patients and clients to choose smart self-care routines for healthy aging.
