Why Therapeutic Connection PT & W Is Different

I am an expert in the healing arts — fluent in “Body.” Every body is unique, so every treatment needs to be as well.

I interpret what your body presents to me about what you need in order to heal. I draw on what you say, what your posture shows, what your tissues feel like, and many other avenues to determine how to get you feeling your best again. I use a vast array of treatment techniques and manual skills, with a deep arsenal of methods and finely honed intuition and palpation, in order to provide immediate results.

• 30+ years of hands-on experience working with patients!
• I test and re-test to ensure results.
• I evaluate and re-evaluate each patient as a unique individual at every visit, and customize their therapy accordingly.
• I developed my own treatment approach, the Silan System — personalized, whole body, restorative.
• My own recent health journey has taught me even more ways to help the human body heal.

I strive to help you thrive — I thrive on helping you reach optimal health.

What it is like to be my patient

1. You are listened to — deeply. We start with your needs and your experience, in your words, and I assess a physical baseline so we both know exactly where we are beginning.
2. You understand your own body. I empower patients with information about their ailment or their goals. The more educated a patient becomes about their wellness journey, the more likely they are to achieve their goals.
3. You leave with a plan built around your life. We create your treatment plan together — manual therapies plus individualized daily exercises tailored to your lifestyle and your goals.

And you are not left on your own with it. I motivate patients to follow their comprehensive treatment program, and I check in regularly to re-assess.

My goal is to help patients live their best life!
