Helping high performing individuals return to play and unleash their true potential

Method

Evaluate

I use hands-on evaluation to assess the texture, tension, and movement of your muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.

treat

Techniques such as Kinetic Therapy (IASTM) are applied, to release soft tissue restrictions (adhesions and scar tissue) - the primary cause of pain, stiffness, weakness, compensation, and altered biomechanics

Recover

My goal is to partner with you to provide the tools and knowledge necessary for successful recovery, prevention and return to play.
