Integrative Physical Therapy:
A Mission for Healing
When you’re uncomfortable, you’re not living your best life. If something within your body system is out of alignment, it’s impossible to obtain optimal pelvic and abdominal health.
It all matters because it’s all interwoven – physically and emotionally. My gentle approach to integrative physical therapy understands, appreciates, and aligns restorative practices with your values so that you own your health and all the decisions that support your healing.
Through abdominal and pelvic health exercises that make you feel healthy and strong, I’ll help you step into your power as a woman – and recover faith that your body will support you through your life’s leading roles as a caregiver, partner, and friend to your loved ones.
Why Take an Integrative Approach?
Did you know that:
What you eat and how you sleep can influence your pain levels?
That your neck and shoulder posture may be contributing to leakage and pelvic pressure?
That the way your organs move influence how the rest of your body moves?
Your body is connected in a million ways. So many physical therapists will focus on one part of the body and ignore other physical and emotional stressors. I do things differently because I believe the whole body and mind are connected.
I’m here to tell you there are so many ways to live in harmony with your body! I’ll help you find those paths through a comfortable and holistic approach to your healing and health.
My Professional Credentials:
2015
Doctor of Physical Therapy
I graduated from Arcadia University with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy.
2018
Orthopedic Clinical Specialist
I completed a post-doctorate residency in Orthopedics and earned the designation of Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. I worked primarily in Orthopedic Care until 2019 when I started to see a need for more integrative orthopedic care that understand the contribution of both the pelvic floor and abdominal wall.
2019
Certified Women’s Health Coach
I completed training through Herman and Wallace for treatment of the pelvic floor along with visceral mobilization training through the Barral Institute. I also became a Certified Women’s Health Coach through the Integrative Women’s Health Institute.
2020
Low Pressure Fitness Trainer
I became a certified Low Pressure Fitness trainer through Low Pressure Fitness International.
Recovery from abdominal surgery
My integrative approach can be applied to almost any part of the body. However, I am especially passionate about helping women recover following abdominal surgery. Referral to physical therapy is not standard following abdominal surgery and most women do not realize that there is support available for them during this time.
You absolutely deserve to be empowered and guided toward a full recovery!
Care following abdominal surgery typically includes:
Mobilization of both viscera (organs) and scar tissue to ensure full return to movement
Specific exercises to ensure that your ab muscles (that were cut through) remember how to support you!
Training in hypopressive exercise to give you independence in mobilizing internal adhesions and restoring abdominal wall function
