Trained In The McKenzie Method
The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment (MDT) is an internationally acclaimed system of assessment and treatment of any musculoskeletal problems including:
- pain in the back, neck and extremities (ie shoulder, knee, ankle, wrist)
- issues associated with sciatica, sacroiliac joint pain, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, muscle spasms, and intermittent numbness in hands or feet
These treatment principles promote the body’s potential to repair itself and do not involve the use of any medication, heat, cold, ultrasound, needles or surgery. This type of treatment allows patients to learn the principles and empowers them to be in control of their own symptom management rather than relying on medical intervention in the future.
Mulligan Manual Therapy Trained
The Mulligan Concept is a unique manual therapy treatment approach combining mobilization with active movement or function to reduce pain and improve the patient’s range of motion. It’s highly effective problems such as ankle sprains and shoulder impingement.
Functional Movement Screen Certified
The FMS is a screening tool that is highly validated in predicting injury. I utilize FMS to examine the quality of movement within 7 different patterns.
Each movement places the individual in positions where weaknesses, imbalances, asymmetries and limitations become noticeable, thereby exposing dysfunction or pain or both.
World of Hurt Pain Classification System
I use A World of Hurt Pain Classification System to help me identify the predominant pain mechanism of my patients so I can effectively and efficiently treat the primary source of the pain. It also allows me to focus on patient education and active care.
Verified Reiki Practitioner
Ancient Eastern Medicine derived, Reiki is hands-on-body healing therapy. I utilize Reiki as an adjunct to my own manual therapy techniques to support the body’s natural abilitly to heal itself.
