TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
I believe in two things;
MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE
With years of education, training, and experience, I have developed skills that enable to me to accurately determine the driving cause of someone’s pain or impairment, and prescribe the correct movement in the correct dosage to promote positive and lasting change.
THERE IS NO CHANGE WITHOUT CHALLENGE
Our bodies need challenge in order to become stronger, more flexible, and more resilient.

Pain Reduction - non-invasive and conservative treatments through the prescription of movement and modalities such as manual therapies, education, ice, dynamic stretching and compression.
Kinesiology Taping (KT) and Sports Taping - KT utilizes a specific type of tape that can successfully treat a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological,and other medical conditions like swelling. KT facilitates the body’s natural healing process while supporting muscles and joints without restricting range of motion. Sports Taping uses white athletic tape which is more restrictive and can be an irreplaceable tool when returning to sport or preventing injuries; like ankle sprains, wrist sprains, or jammed fingers.
Functional Dry Needling
Functional Dry Needling (FDN) involves inserting a tiny monofilament needle in a muscle or muscles in order to release bands of muscles and decrease trigger point activity. This can help resolve pain and muscle tension, and will promote healing. This is NOT traditional Chinese Acupuncture, but is instead a medical treatment that relies on a medical diagnosis to be effective. Dr. Meg Fisher, trained by KinetaCore, has met the requirements for Level 1 competency in FDN and is now considered a certified Functional Dry Needling Practitioner.
