Present Scope of Practice:

Primary focus is on the use of therapeutic techniques to assist clients in correcting physical problems with the goal being the relief of pain and a return to normal body function and use.

The time for each treatment session can range anywhere from 1-1/4 hr. to 2 hrs. & I will do my best to resolve the problem(s) in one session. However, many physical issues are a result of old injuries from falls, sport activities, repetitive use, accidents, etc. & may take a number of sessions to resolve. (I do not know of a doctor who has given a prescription for only one physical therapy treatment, and most chiropractors want you to return for 2-3 treatments per week for an extended period).

If you are in pain or unable to do activities you enjoy I may well be able to assist you in a return to a pain free fully functional life!!! I have been able to help people who thought surgery was their only option, or who have come to me after a surgery such as carpal tunnel when it wasn't effective.
