Our Approach

Our approach to physical therapy and wellness is based on a triad of education, rehabilitation, and prevention. We start by educating our patients about the fascial system and its influence on posture, movement, strength, flexibility, and painful symptoms. This education is the foundation for the rehabilitation process, where we work together as a team to release fascial restrictions, improve posture and alignment, and alleviate pain. Finally, we focus on prevention by teaching our patients positive methods to minimize the risk of future injuries, including exercises and lifestyle modifications.
