Philosophy of care and typical treatment strategies: I prioritize patient-physical therapist collaboration in treating all of my patients, and especially my patients with endometriosis, as this disease can impact each person so differently.

I do have extensive training in the implementation of many manual treatments, including fascial mobilization, visceral manipulation, myofascial release, trigger point release, and various types of joint mobilizations that we can utilize to reduce pain and improve motion. I use functional movement, breath techniques, and positional strategies to help you get through the bad days, and also provide individualized progressive strengthening/stretching/mobility/return to sports activities when you are ready. I believe finding enjoyable movement is key to sustained function, so I will work with you to find a movement practice that you find fulfilling and can continue long term.

I take my role as an educator very seriously. I will teach you as much as I can to help you manage the musculoskeletal aspects of your symptoms, including unwanted pelvic floor symptoms (such as incontinence, pain with sex, painful bladder syndrome, or constipation), joint pains, muscle pains, fatigue, and bloating.

My goal is to help you progress toward the things that are most important to you, wherever you are in your endometriosis journey.

I would be honored to be part of your medical team.
