Christa’s Profile: I have experienced working with patients of all ages, including professional athletes and elderly patients with chronic pain ailments. My approach to treatment is to educate my patients on the mechanics of their own bodies in an effort to empower them to be an integral part of their own healing process. I have spent the last 7 years working in orthopedics and enjoy working with local golfers by assisting them to better develop their swing mechanics through physical fitness.

Erin’s Profile: I work with my patients and clients to help them make changes in their movement patterns and life habits to become more functional, stronger, more flexible, or pain free. I also provide instruction, motivation, and encouragement in making changes necessary for a higher quality of life. I believe in a more active, rather than passive, approach in the rehabilitation of my patients. The satisfaction I receive from making a difference in someone’s life brings a smile to my own face each day. Post graduate education/coursework in manual therapy/myofascial release. |
