REHAB
Relieve Pain: Personalized Rehabilitation for Lasting Results
Experience rehabilitation that’s truly tailored to you.
I go beyond generic exercise routines, using my expertise in kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, and Applied Functional Science® (AFS) to understand how your body responds to movement. By identifying the root causes of your pain and dysfunction, I create integrative, evidence-based plans that relieve discomfort, prevent future injuries, and deliver measurable progress. This isn’t just rehab. It’s a roadmap to restore confidence, prevent setbacks, and reclaim your active life.
Principle–Strategy–Technique: A Smarter Approach
My process is grounded in the principles of human movement—not just isolated muscle work. Inspired by leading sports science, I focus on training movement patterns, recognizing that muscles function best when activated in the right context. The Central Nervous System (CNS) constantly adapts your movements to forces like gravity and momentum, using proprioceptive feedback to fine-tune control. Through detailed assessment, I develop customized treatments and workouts that align with your goals—whether that’s injury prevention, post-rehab recovery, or performance enhancement. Every plan is sequenced and adjusted to your current abilities, ensuring safe and effective progress.
Rehabilitation as a Continuum
I view rehabilitation as an ongoing, integrated process—addressing motion, strength, and balance together, rather than in isolation. This continuum-based approach leverages your existing strengths to build up weaker areas, always working within the authentic ways your body moves.
Functional Training for Injury Prevention
My programs use global, functional movements that not only improve performance but also reduce your risk of injury. I design progressions that safely introduce more challenging motions, so you can master them with confidence—whether you’re recovering from injury, aiming for peak performance, or seeking to prevent future problems.
The Benefits of an Integrated Approach
This comprehensive method addresses dysfunction throughout the body, reduces compensatory patterns, and lowers your risk of recurring pain or injury—helping you move better, feel better, and live stronger every day.

ASSESSMENT
Begin Your Journey with a 90-Minute Biomechanical Evaluation
Unlock a deeper understanding of your body’s movement with our comprehensive 90-minute Biomechanical Evaluation. Using advanced technology like the 3DMAPS® (3D Movement Analysis & Performance System) developed by the Gray Institute, we thoroughly assess your biomechanics to set the foundation for effective, personalized care.
What Is 3DMAPS®?
3DMAPS® is a cutting-edge assessment tool that evaluates how your body moves in real life—across all three planes of motion. This system examines:
-
66 Tri-Plane Joint Motions
-
Biomechanics of Primary Body Complexes
-
Mobility and Stability Analysis
-
6 Vital Transformational Zones
-
6 Chain Reactions®
-
Three-Dimensional Interaction of Joints, Muscles, and Proprioceptors
-
Range of Motion and Quality of Movement

TREATMENT
Treatment: Safe, Effective, and Personalized Rehabilitation
True rehabilitation is more than just handing out exercises—it’s about understanding how your body responds and creating a plan that’s uniquely yours.
Personalized Rehabilitation Approach
After a thorough assessment, we design customized rehabilitation and training sessions tailored to your specific needs. With expertise in Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics, and Applied Functional Science®, we dig deep to uncover the real sources of pain and dysfunction. By integrating neuromusculoskeletal Chain Reaction™ biomechanics, our strategies are targeted, evidence-based, and designed for measurable, lasting results—never guesswork.
Core Principles of Applied Functional Science® (AFS)
-
Holistic Care: We treat the whole person, not just isolated symptoms or body parts.
-
Root Cause Resolution: Our focus is on addressing the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction, not just masking symptoms.
-
Authentic Movement: We use exercises that mirror real-life activities, ensuring your progress translates to daily living.
-
Three-Dimensional Training: All sessions address movement in every plane—sagittal, frontal, and transverse—for comprehensive functional improvement.
-
Integrated Body Systems: We recognize how your muscles, joints, nerves, and other systems work together to influence movement and healing.
Smart Movement Prescription & Progression
We don’t assume that one-size-fits-all movements will work for everyone. Instead, we identify your unique movement threshold—the point where you can perform an exercise safely, without pain or compensation. By carefully monitoring range, angle, and speed, we gradually challenge your body within safe limits, reinforcing positive movement patterns and avoiding discomfort.
Identifying Your Success Threshold
Success means moving well—without pain or compensation. We continually adjust your program based on your body’s feedback, helping to retrain your nervous system and build sustainable, optimal movement habits.
Home Programs for Long-Term Success
Healing doesn’t stop when you leave the clinic. You’ll receive a personalized home program and practical injury prevention strategies to keep you progressing. Our goal is to ensure you stay strong, resilient, and protected from future injuries—long after your treatment ends.
