My Philosophy
My 13 years as physical therapist has been spent practicing primarily in Solana Beach, CA, where movement is a way of life. As a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist, my main focus is on helping patients recover from overuse and sports injuries. I fell in love working with recreational athletes and active adults. I am inspired to provide services that extended beyond physical therapy for proactive clients wanting to maintain and improve their physical health.
Today I bring that same vision to my home state of NY. My treatments are a unique blend of hands-on therapy and exercise coaching that incorporates healing, prevention and performance training. I use a mix of techniques to release tension, and to facilitate optimal muscle function. Treatments may incorporate a combination of myofascial release, joint mobilizations, and craniosacral techniques. My background as a gymnast, CrossFit athlete, and cyclist has helped me diversify my style of therapy. Today I gravitate toward treatments that incorporate pilates based core exercise, and functional strength training. I believe that movement is medicine. My patients receive guided instruction on exercise, and a plan that is designed for their lifestyle.
Because I believe that maintaining and thriving in health should be incorporated into your daily routine, I strive to bring my knowledge to you! Currently I offer in-home sessions, and sublet space in a local yoga and pilates studio to better serve my community where they gather and move.
When not in the clinic, I am educating upcoming doctor of physical therapy students at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, San Marcos, CA. My personal fitness interests are varied, and I am enjoying all that the Hudson Valley offers. You may find me on the trails, biking, and in your local yoga or pilates studio.
Coming soon: Rehabilitative Reformer Pilates! I am working towards my pilates instructor certification and am excited to soon incorporate reformer pilates into my treatments.
