I integrate my diverse range of experiences from Yoga, Pilates, Sports Medicine, and Hospital based care, into unique treatment programs; incorporating exercise, education, and neurophysiology as the basis for my recommendations. Each person requires an individual approach even if the diagnoses are identical.
