My Philosophy

How I Work

Every Body Is Different

I tailor each training or fitness plan to suit your specific needs. I have extensive experience in a broad range of physical and manual therapies — which means I can assess your strengths and weaknesses from a variety of perspectives and identify the right approach, or combination of approaches, for you. When appropriate, I am happy to provide additional resources for guidance with surgery, sports medicine, and alternative therapies.

It's Never Too Late — or Too Early — To Start

No matter your age or fitness level, it's never too late to improve your physical conditioning. I extended my programs to include children and young athletes after realizing the long-term positive effects of early intervention. I offer age-appropriate education tools for corrective exercises and stretches, as well as manual therapies that are gentle yet effective for a developing body.

A 360-Degree View of Pain

I believe a multifaceted approach to managing or avoiding pain yields the best long-term results. Would you hire a contractor whose only tool was a hammer? Too narrow a focus may lead to short-term relief of a symptom, but long-term relief requires identifying and treating the true underlying problem with the appropriate tools.

Real Healing Takes Time

I've had both injuries and surgeries, so I understand how frustrating it is to be in pain or have limited functionality. Despite what the health industry wants us to believe, there's no quick fix for an injury, post-op recovery, or chronic problem. Real healing takes time — and the right plan.
