Balance to the Human System for Optimal Function
Discover "The Way"
Physical Therapy to Reveal Your Best Self
Welcome to a practice where your story is valued. Tao of Physical Therapy is a solo practice in a comfortable, private setting. Your time is never shared with other clients, so you are the sole focus in an appointment. The problem with current healthcare is a disconnect between provider and patient. We will mend that bridge here, because someone who listens is what makes the difference in your physical therapy experience. I believe that you already have the potential you need, and I will help you harness your abilities to navigate towards your goals. Tao of Physical Therapy is a partnership.
There may be stiffness, an injury, or pain that is limiting you from returning to your favorite sport or activity, picking up your grandchild, running, being more efficient at your workplace, or moving around in the garden. You may have a neurodegenerative condition and that may feel like the heaviest barrier to push through. You want to function better and live better. Let Tao of Physical Therapy be your partner as you take action to be your best self.
The Mission... Balance to the Human System for Optimal Function
Physical therapy is methodical and intensional for both the therapist and the patient. Tao of Physical Therapy is the "way" or the path to mastery. As the therapist, I am constantly honing my skills to become more effective for my patient/client. I am constantly keeping up with current research, expanding my education, and practicing at the top of my abilities. Physical therapy should not be fully passive, and the patient is involved in their recovery and mastery through intensional exercise and guided movements. Together, we target each dysfunction restore balance to the body and mind.
Physical therapy and wellness services at Tao of Physical Therapy are tailored to you, regardless of the complexity and body region. I want patients visiting the office to be in a comfortable, private setting where their time and commitment is valued. During the time we have together, they would learn how powerful they are rather than broken or dysfunctional, and leave the office with the tools to maintain that feeling.
My goal is to have you ready to take on the world as soon as possible. I value my own commitment to help you achieve goals and the opportunity to learn and grow together.
Services are rendered on a Fee-For-Service model, allowing for a holistic practice for maximum outcomes, removing barriers to care, ensuring the relationship is with you and not your insurance company. We can only restore balance by addressing the entire human system with current, evidence-informed interventions and technology. I do not believe that this is a new or alternative approach to Physical Therapy, but it is one that is honest to its core values-- the "way." Welcome to Tao of Physical Therapy.
