Summary
With over 20 years of experience as a versatile Physical Therapist, I have honed my skills in manual therapy techniques such as IASTM, joint mobilizations, and soft tissue mobilization. In 2008, I earned a MCMT (Master's Certification in Manual Therapy), further enhancing my expertise in this field. I am also trained in Functional Dry Needling, providing comprehensive care to my patients. My specialization is in the orthopedic setting, focusing on treating orthopedic conditions and providing pre and post-operative care as well as optimizing sports performance. I have extensive knowledge in evaluating and treating a wide range of disorders and diagnoses, with a particular emphasis on orthopedic conditions. Effective communication is one of my strengths, enabling me to interact effectively with patients, parents, the public, and the medical community. I also have experience with cash-based services and consistently prioritize utmost consideration and respect for each patient to ensure the best possible outcomes. I am looking to further my skills in dry needling. I would also like to study the implications of perimenopause and menopause and physical therapy interventions.
