OUTPATIENT PHYSICAL THERAPY
Optimize Your Performance
Within my 15 years of experience, I have treated a wide variety of patients with various medical conditions, impairments, and functional limitations. My treatment philosophy incorporates my solid background in psychology and movement science to promote wellness within the individual in body and mind. I seek to learn what drives my clients in order to form a collaborative partnership. I thrive on crafting specific exercise programs with complementary manual therapy techniques in order to to give my clients the tools to help them achieve and maintain their functional and recreational goals.
I also provide home visits in Vermont within 30 min of White River Junction. I currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna at the Mountainside location only. Otherwise, I will gladly provide the necessary documentation for you to submit your claim to your private insurance company for out of network reimbursement. However, as I am not credentialed with Medicare, I cannot treat Medicare patients at this time, and cannot submit to any secondary insurance if you do receive Medicare benefits.
THERAPY SERVICES
BACK AND NECK PAIN MANAGEMENT
With a thorough postural assessment and focus on activating the deep stabilizers of the neck and/or back, you will learn how to address the root cause of most spinal pain issues. Neuromuscular re-education and therapeutic exercises may be complemented by manual techniques to improve joint/skeletal alignment or neutralize associated myofascial restrictions.
LUMBOPELVIC STABILIZATION
One aspect of my practice which I am particularly passionate about is strengthening and control of the "core" and postural muscles. I aim to educate my patients in the incorporation of this incredibly important component of strength, stability, and pain-free activity into their daily lives. A focus on prevention of recurrence is an integral part of my approach to treatment.
POST-OP REHABILITATION
I have successfully provided postoperative outpatient rehabilitation for the majority of my career, including Total Knee and Hip replacements, rotator cuff repairs and other surgeries, various knee surgeries including ligamentous repairs, as well as foot and toe surgeries.
ORTHOPEDIC INJURY
Improve performance in your individual sport, recreational activity, or daily activity with detailed movement assessment and guided or activity-specific training. Return to activity safely after injury and learn to prevent recurrence.
TREATMENT METHODS
TARGETED NEUROMUSCULAR ACTIVATION
Using techniques of therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular re-education, you will learn how to create symmetry in strength and flexibility and develop stability in your core and pelvis for improved performance and daily activities.
JOINT MOBILIZATION AND MANIPULATION
These techniques are used to correct asymmetry in alignment brought on by injury, repetitive stress, or chronic postural changes. Specific techniques include Muscle Energy Technique, Mulligan Mobilization, and High Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust Mobilizations.
SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a gentle and useful technique for myofascial release without the pain of foam rolling. Using a beveled stainless steel tool with various curved surfaces, we are able to increase circulation, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation, all in a fraction of the time of other more intense techniques. IASTM is used in conjunction with traditional deep tissue techniques and trigger point release.
