My Philosophy

“Happiness lies first of all in health”

- George William Curtis

Every person is unique in their body, activities, and needs. I tailor your rehabilitation to your individual situation, to get you back to what your life requires. We establish your individual goals and evaluate your unique movement so I can identify the best treatment regimen for you.

(check out the blog I wrote on my treatment philosophy for more information).

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Aches and pains often begin with repeated improper movements that slowly causes tissue damage. This can happen during something simple such as sitting at a desk, to the more complex training regiments of competitive athletes. I help you identify the cause of your injury, and treat the source of the issue, not just the pain itself. This ultimately helps you recover faster so you can get back to doing what you love.

Some examples on how physiotherapy can help with your rehabilitation:
