If this is you,

It’s hard to stop doing something you love especially when your entire life is structured around hiking and being active.  You’re willing to put up with the nagging aches and pains, ignoring them and hoping they’ll go away.  But when something stops you in your tracks like plantar fasciitis, knee or back pain - what then?  You’ve had physical therapy in the past for this but it keeps coming back. Taking ibuprofen doesn’t work anymore.  You go see a doctor who recommends Rest - Ice - Compression - Elevation.  There might be x-rays or even a discussion of surgery or joint replacement.

Over the years, our bodies have developed efficient ways of moving; compensation patterns that accommodate things like tight ankles, tight hips or an old injury. While these patterns may allow the body to keep going they tend to have a dysfunctional effect in other parts of the body eventually causing pain such as in the back, knees or feet. 

How we help:

I take a wholistic approach to body movement. We’ll start with your feet and work up the movement chain of your body looking at how your unique movement patterns may be contributing to your injury/pain including muscle imbalances and joint mobility issues.  Then we’ll work out a program to address and correct the issues and prevent them from recurring.

Your program will consist of different techniques including muscle activations and strengthening, joint mobility, self-myofascial release and stretching specifically designed for your body to address the root causes and prevent reoccurrence.
