Physical Therapy


“It’s really nice to be feeling better again.”
--Ted


“The relationship between altered movement patterns and specific muscle weaknesses requires that remediation addresses changes to the movement pattern: the performance of strengthening exercises alone will not likely affect the timing and manner of recruitment during functional performance.”
--Shirley Sahrmann, Phd., P.T., FAPTA



Background


With an extensive background in Physical Therapy I have experience treating chronic pain, orthopedic injuries, balance challenges, pelvic floor weakness and neurological conditions such as hemiplegia and Parkinsons’s Disease. Having recently completed the LSVT BIG certification I am excited to offer this intensive intervention to the Parkinson’s community.

In terms of general orthopedics, Everybody Moves is strongly influenced by the work of Dr. Shirley Sahrmann and the Movement Systems Impairment paradigm. This system focuses on understanding pain, stiffness and weakness within a movement and alignment context, associating one area of dysfunction to its adjacent areas and specifically naming the dysfunction. You can find out more on this approach at this link.

In addition, I have years of experience working with people suffering with chronic pain. My knowledge of the Feldenkrais Method® has proven invaluable in this arena.
