Maximize your health

  • One : One Appointments: In person treatments in New Jersey and California

  • Telemedicine Consultations: via FaceTime/Zoom for guidance to address your concerns

  • Ergonomic Assessments: we all spend more time at our desks these days, let’s design your office space to be efficient, comfortable and a creative work area

I hear you. I’ve been there. Maintenance and attention to your physical body are a must! I’ve studied and collected years of research through my own injuries and work with patients. My treatments examine the whole landscape of the body, a holistic snapshot of posture and functional movement patterns like walking for preventive, post-injury and post-surgery care. I consider all the operating systems of human survival beyond the musculoskeletal system like the digestive, lymphatic, and especially the nervous system in order to elevate your health, enhance your longevity and keep you doing what you love to do!

Together we focus on restoring and re-educating your body with my favorite techniques like; manual myofascial deep tissue massage, ancient modalities like cupping, modern tools such as Rockblades/Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation/IASTM and PowerDot electric muscle stimulation. I incorporate various stretching and movement philosophies through disciplines such as yoga, DNS, and Ginastica Natural. I also love Aquatic Therapy where the natural buoyancy of water creates a partial to non-weight bearing therapeutic environment allowing you to do activities you wouldn’t be able to do on land.  You’ll have a customized therapeutic exercise program on land and/or water so you have tools and can practice your homework.

What are your physical therapy goals?

Recovery, move through your day with ease, enjoy your activities, maximize your athletic performance, prevention, longevity, sports rehabilitation…

Want to be inspired? I’m really proud to be featured in the documentary UNBROKEN with Mark McMorris, Professional Snowboarder, 3x Olympic Medalist, and all around incredible human. Watch the full movie HERE

After a grueling 6-month rehab, iconic Canadian snowboarder Mark McMorris comes back from a fractured femur, suffered at LA Air + Style in February 2016, looking to re-establish himself as the rider to beat in the 2016-17 season. Adding fuel to the fire, Mark’s comeback season will determine if he qualifies for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang. Filmmaker and childhood friend Adam Burwell follows Mark every step of the way from the Olympic test event in South Korea, to the FIS World Cup, to the US Open as he competes with the world’s best in Big Air and Slopestyle and earns his spot on the Canadian Olympic team. Then on March 25, 2017, everything changes. With the competition season over, Mark explores the Whistler backcountry with his brother Craig, Torstein Horgmo and friends. While cameras are rolling the unthinkable happens, a horrific accident leaves Mark clinging to life with his brother and friends doing all they can to save him. With intimate access, this 44-minute documentary shows 23-year old Mark McMorris at his most vulnerable and resilient as he battles to get back on his board and doing what he loves. Candid interviews with family, friends, and snowboarding legends Jake Burton Carpenter, Torstein Horgmo, Nicolas Mueller and Danny Davis tell the story of one of the sport’s most influential riders facing an existential crisis. This is UNBROKEN: The Snowboard Life of Mark McMorris.
