One of the most important aspects of our care is to empower you with knowledge. Often the first step to healing is being heard and validated. We believe in the power of hte body to heal itself given the optimal oppurtunities. We strive to teach you how you can temporarily make some changes that will speed up your recovery and then teach you how to build strength, function and resiliency. Think of it as “being KIND to your mind and your body”.
We assess and treat the tissues in your body using many of our hands on techniques. We perform tests to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, joints and fascia and listen to what your body is telling us. We use our expanded awareness and clinical reasoning to assess what is contributing to your pain and then treat accordingly. These techniques may include graded joint mobilizations sometimes with movements, soft tissue release such as John F. Barnes myofascial release, Guasha, tissue distraction cupping, massage, and melting and relaxation techniques.
From the assessment findings we design specialized exercise programs for you to do at home. Your commitment to the home program greatly allows us to change and progress the exercises we do together at your next appointment. The evidence shows that how our muscles work together is just as beneficial and important than power and endurance. We use techniques to train your brain how to use the muscles properly and change dysfunctional patterns of muscle activation. We use an online exercise prescription program that emails your exercises and allows you to watch videos and track your progress.
As an adjunct to your hands on treatment, exercises and education we can use machines that help to decrease inflammation and help to control pain such as therapeutic Ultrasound, Laser or LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy), Interferential Current (IFC), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation or EMG Biofeedback. Our Modalities are medical grade and are inspected by an engineer regularly (unlike a Dr. Ho’s Costco special).
Our therapists have experience working in pediatrics. We have a wide range of skills and expertise in a variety of treatment techniques for children who may require neurological, developmental (i.e. gross motor milestones) or orthopedic (i.e. plagiocephaly/torticollis) treatment and rehabilitation. We are passionate about helping your children reach their full potential.

Scientists have found that staying physically active and exercising regularly can help prevent or delay many diseases and disabilities. For example, studies show that people with arthritis, heart disease, or diabetes benefit from regular exercise. Exercise also helps people with high blood pressure, balance problems, or difficulty walking. (Reference; NIH Senior Health)
Being physically active can help you stay strong and fit enough to keep doing the things you like to do as you get older. Making exercise and physical activity a regular part of your life can improve your health and help you maintain your independence as you age.
You may have seen our colorful taping techniques wandering around town! Taping has come a long way in the past few years. We can continue to adjust how you move even after you leave your appointment. We can provide support for joints and tissues as well as unload painful structures and finally, help to train the brain how to use the tissues in an optimal movement pattern.
