My specialties include helping and supporting individuals feel comfortable in their bodies despite accidental or repetitive use injuries. I have personal experience recovering from neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, back, hip, knee, ankle, foot and skull injuries. I am also experienced in the compensatory movements that manifest from multiple injuries causing postural change and ease of movement. Together, we (you and me) will be able to facilitate new or improved movements for you.
