Dry Needling is a therapeutic treatment technique which involves advancement of a filament needle into a dysfunctional muscle.

I will work with you to help identify “trigger points” present, or other generally painful and/or dysfunctional areas in your muscles that may be contributing to your symptoms. The needle is then advanced into these locations in order to achieve a local twitch response which can help release muscle tension, diminish pain, increase flexibility of the tissue, and quiet muscular activity and spasm. Mild electrical stimulation may also be applied to help facilitate desired muscle activity, or to provide further relief from symptoms.  Dry needling is a safe and effective treatment with very few side effects.  Although Dry Needling can be very beneficial in treating a multitude of impairments, it is important to note that this is just one technique used in a much larger treatment plan.

As a Fall Prevention Specialist, I can assess and identify your fall risk. I will integrate multiple approaches to create a custom fall prevention program including overall balance, strength, in-home assessment, and education with loved ones.

Manual techniques can include but are not limited to joint mobilizations, soft tissue work, trigger point release, therapeutic cupping and taping. As your physical therapist, I will determine and explain what techniques to utilize and for what purpose.

If it is your first time going to a physical therapist or your 50th, you will receive a unique experience with a detailed evaluation to find the root of your pain/dysfunction. Your treatments will be tailored to your past history and how you learn and heal.

I provide treatment for athletic injuries, gait/running analysis, sport movement analysis, as well as post operative physical therapy for many conditions. I will take the time to provide you with excellent care after your surgery or procedure.
