MY APPROACH

My Holistic Approach to Physical Therapy and Dry Needling

As a physical therapist, my mission is to help people not just recover—but truly heal. I specialize in dry needling, a powerful technique that targets myofascial trigger points to relieve pain, restore movement, and reestablish functional balance in the body. But what sets my practice apart is how I integrate naturopathic principles into every step of the healing process.

​

The benefits of dry needling are magnified when also paired with not only electrical stimulation, but therapeutic exercises that appropriately load the muscles and joints being treated. 

​

However, I also acknowledge and respect each person's own decision to decide which treatment options are best for them. For example, active individuals who regularly exercise may require less hands on training and may choose to come for just the dry needling portion of their naturopathic care. 

​

I support and accommodate all care plans to meet each of individual's needs.

The Power of Dry Needling in Functional Recovery

Dry needling is a minimally invasive technique where thin, sterile needles are inserted into muscle tissue to release knots, reduce tension, and improve range of motion. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is grounded in Western anatomy and neurophysiology. It’s highly effective for:

​

  • Chronic pain

  • Sports injuries

  • Muscle tightness

  • Postural imbalances

  • Neuromuscular dysfunction

​

By addressing the root cause of muscular tension and dysfunction, dry needling can accelerate healing and support long-term recovery.

Dry Needling For Maintenance Care

Dry needling can be an effective maintenance tool for individuals who have returned to their previous level of activity following injury or rehabilitation. By targeting trigger points and releasing muscle tension, dry needling helps prevent the recurrence of pain and supports long-term musculoskeletal health. Many patients incorporate dry needling into their ongoing wellness routine to manage stress, reduce muscle tightness, and maintain optimal performance. Whether you're an athlete, an active professional, or someone simply looking to stay pain-free, periodic dry needling sessions can play a key role in preserving mobility and preventing future issues.
