Your Trusted Physical Therapist in Eden, Utah
With over 34 years of dedicated service in physical therapy, I have cultivated a practice rooted in precision and compassion. My journey began in 1991, and since then, I have worked across diverse clinical settings, from hospitals to aquatic therapy pools, refining my expertise in manual therapy and intelligent movement. As an instructor for the Barral Institute since 2018, I share my knowledge of visceral manipulation and other advanced techniques with fellow professionals. My clinic in Eden, Utah, focuses on addressing chronic pain and movement dysfunction through a holistic approach that integrates hands-on therapy with tailored exercise programs.I hold certifications in visceral techniques, Pilates, and WATSU therapy, reflecting my commitment to continuous learning. My philosophy centers on listening to each patient's unique story, applying evidence-based methods to restore function, and empowering individuals to live active, fulfilling lives. This practice is built on decades of experience, a deep understanding of human anatomy, and a passion for helping others achieve optimal health.

Services
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy uses precise techniques to address tissue restrictions causing pain and dysfunction. This approach improves joint mobility, reduces inflammation, and enhances nervous system function. Patients benefit from customized sessions that integrate structural and functional assessments to restore natural movement patterns.
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral manipulation focuses on releasing restrictions in internal organs and their connective tissues. This technique addresses post-surgical adhesions, digestive issues, and chronic pain patterns. By restoring organ mobility, patients experience improved bodily function and reduced referred pain in other areas.
Pilates-Based Exercise
Pilates-based programs develop core strength, postural alignment, and movement efficiency. Sessions emphasize breath control, muscle coordination, and spinal stabilization. Patients learn corrective movement patterns that prevent reinjury and enhance daily functional abilities through progressive exercise programs.
WATSU Therapy
WATSU therapy combines warm water immersion with guided stretching and massage. The buoyancy reduces joint stress while improving circulation and muscle relaxation. Patients with chronic pain or mobility limitations gain increased range of motion and decreased muscle tension through this gentle aquatic approach.
Neuro-Developmental Treatment
Neuro-developmental treatment addresses movement disorders from neurological conditions like hemiplegia. Therapists use specialized handling techniques to improve postural control and functional mobility. Patients relearn motor patterns through repetitive, task-specific training that promotes neural plasticity and functional independence.
