Sport/Athletic Injuries
From casual/recreational athletes to intense competitors, facilitating return to activity and promoting longevity of activity participation through prevention is the key focus of our sessions together. Analyzing an athlete’s movement patterns is paired with specific strengthening and mobility exercises. I treat the following athletic injuries and more:

- Patellofemoral pain syndrome/Iliotibial band
- (IT) syndrome
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin splints
- Achilles tendon strain/Achilles tendonitis
- Ankle sprain

- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
Women’s Health
Prenatal, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause – these stages can impact how the body functions and moves. Women don’t have to wait for it to “go away on its own” or accept that it is “just part of having babies” or “part of aging.” I treat the following:
- Diastasis recti (abdominal muscles spreading)
- Symphysis pubis pain (pubic pain)
- Upper/mid back pain (thoracic pain)
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
- Cesarean scar restriction
- Urinary incontinence (leakage of urine)
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Abdominal muscle weakness
