Performance of specialized joint manual skills for the neck, spine, and pelvis such as spinal manipulations and muscle energy techniques.
Muscular interventions are implemented including dry needling, kinesiology taping, and IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization).
There is a strong focus on spinal and sacro-pelvic stability through dynamic core stabilization while improving joint mobility and alignment when needed.
The goal is for you to be like a gymnast...strong yet flexible!
Back pain and sacro-iliac joint pain can be terribly debilitating but skilled PT has been shown to be quite effective and an excellent alternative or adjunct to pain medications. Find out more below from a Harvard Health article outlining the benefits of physical therapy for spinal stenosis.

I completed the nationally ranked Doctor of Physical Therapy program at UAB in 2014
after working 20 years as a Physical Therapist Assistant in multiple settings.
A long and varied career in Physical Therapy has resulted in
a well-rounded perspective related to managing the care of my patients.
I also obtained a Master of Arts in Public and Private Management degree from Birmingham-Southern College.
With the MPPM, I developed an entrepreneurial spirit and learned excellent business management skills
that allow me to serve my community with honor and distinction.
On a personal note...I enjoy family time, working in the yard, hiking, jogging, going to the lake,
and travelling.
Helping others to reach their maximum potential.
Acceptance, caring, diversity, friendship, and community.
A strong work ethic and always going above & beyond
for those who have entrusted me with their care.
As your Physical Therapist of choice, we can work together to create lasting benefits for your mobility, recreation, health, and overall well-being.
