Integrative Physical Therapy

About us

RESILIENCE . . . When our resilience is challenged, we typically start to feel aches and pains and more unhealthy. It can be a losing battle to 'avoid stress' and 'keep pushing through stressful situations' by ignoring the discomfort. Eventually, we reach a threshold and our bodies just can't keep up anymore, resulting in illness, pain, and disease. At Integrative Physical Therapy, we prefer to treat by increasing your body's natural ability to self regulate and heal itself.. You can think of it as working on increasing health vs. fighting dis-ease. Because it's not 100% realistic to avoid pain and injuries, we want your body to be healthy enough to experience that pain and those injuries as minor events that go away vs. major events that linger. To do this, we use a variety of manual techniques gathered from physical therapy, Hellerwork, osteopathic philosophies/techniques and/or functional movement oriented reeducation. The musculoskeletal, cranial and visceral (organ) systems and their interactions are integrated according to each individual. We also include you as an active participant in this process. If this perspective appeals to you and you are interested in finding out more please contact us by phone or email (click on 'Contact Us' for phone number or to email). Maybe we will be talking with each other soon. In Health, Emily
