What do I offer to clients?

​

Physical Therapist = problem solver for non-surgical orthopedic concerns 

Experience:  over 25 years of practice 

11 years limited to non-invasive; 14 years certified in dry needling- I can say what presentations respond to exercise or non-invasive measures, what requires dry needling to respond.

​

Established neuromuscular differential testing for each region: combinations of tests to clarify different muscular layers or neighboring structures.

​

Creativity as needed: created, modified or combined over 10 exercises to match client needs and presentations -shared on YouTube -videos and shorts.

​​

Technique:  recognized by many clients for 'gentler' style and technique selection compared to other providers; recurring feedback from clients who 'could not find comparable results' while I was in Germany (2022 to 2024) and returned to my service once I was available.

​

Pattern recognition:  identified combinations of extremity weakness and sensitivity influenced by spinal musculature.

​

Always taking new clients.   

81 new clients since re-opening /return from Germany; over 475 clients assisted since opening in 2018.  

​​​

Changes for 2026:

​​

Office hours: Available at Bella Vita Salon and Day Spa on alternate Saturdays 9-4 and all Wednesdays 9-5​

​​

Addition of treatment option for electric stimulation with dry needling ($40 for 30 minutes reserved). Option of concurrent treatment to secondary areas available in the same treatment position (most in prone - example: e-stim application to combination of lumbar / gluteal while additional treatment applied to upper back / shoulder / neck).

Neuromuscular based presentations  'What do I feel?'

Altered performance at the nerve to muscle interface may be called muscular pain, myofascial dysfunction, trigger point syndrome, or neuromuscular distortion.

​

The presentation of this status /condition is a combination of many common symptoms:  sensation of tension (or stiffness), ache/throbbing/burning, weakness or sensation of instability, firmness with or without tenderness to touch, and often referred pain to a different area with interaction/palpation (pressing contact).   The intensity of each symptom can be different person to person (and muscle to muscle) and changes based on how activities interact with the related muscles.

​

These presentations come as a result of rapid events (impact, tug/pull) or sustained poor posture:  either cause results in the nervous system telling a portion of muscle to maintain elevated activity to anticipate later events - indefinitely!

​

Fortunately, the problem is not progressive and will change rapidly when directly addressed.

​

Find out for yourself what changes come in 1 to 2 sessions!

​

The injury resolves but the remaining symptoms do not

Some events (muscular strains, joint sprains, even a percentage of of strains concurrent with bone fractures) result in the nervous system adjusting the input from a muscle or a joint/region to increase sensitivity in order to reduce the likelihood of reinjury.  While we consider this to be detrimental in general terms, the body/nervous system considers the change in status to be appropriate/beneficial and is sustained to 'protect' us.

​

Appropriately applied treatment will provide a stimulus to the nervous system to 'reset' or 'restore' this status to normal input/sensations.
