“I really try to understand my clients, their goals, and their expectations. I want to figure out WHY the pain is happening, so I don’t just look at the area of pain; I assess the whole body to uncover contributing factors. I believe in strengthening and lifestyle change as part of a successful plan. No two treatment plans are alike! ”
