Occupational Therapy is a profession that focuses on the whole person. We are trained to assess each area of your life to determine what aspects are limiting your ability to perform at your best. The physical being, emotional being and cognitive being. I like to take that one step further and look at your connection to yourself and the universe or higher power. Your personal values, beliefs, and interests all interconnect to create who you are and how you function in your world.

Physical therapy primarily focuses on the physical body and movement and the limitations it creates to decrease your ability to function in the world as you would like.

We will discuss at the end of your initial appointment my recommendations for treatment. The frequency I recommend is highly varied depending on the condition being addressed.

You will lay fully clothed on a massage table during the session. I begin by gently touching various parts of your body and head to assess and monitor the rhythm of the fluid that flows around your central nervous system.

 I then use my hands to locate areas of weak fluid flow or tissue motion tracing the areas of weakness through the body to the original source of dysfunction. Through delicate manual techniques the areas are released of tension creating improved alignment and function of the central nervous system.

What you experience from your own session is highly individual. The sessions are generally  deeply relaxing, creating feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on.
