Health & Wellness Consultation

For seniors and people of all ages who want to remain as active as possible.

Instrument-Assisted Soft-Tissue Mobilization

Using a tool to reduce tension and restriction within your muscles and your fascia (the tissue that covers and runs within our muscles). See also Soft Tissue Mobilization below.

Lumbar & Cervical Traction

Mechanical lumbar and cervical traction may relieve neck, spine, and extremity pain.

Gently stretches the spine to reduce compression, easing pressure from gravity and tight muscles on spinal joints.

Muscle Energy Techniques

Using your muscles through an isometric (no movement) contraction to reposition a dysfunctional joint.

Myofascial Decompression™ / Cupping

Cupping combined with movement relieves muscle and connective-tissue restrictions.

Suction lifts and decompresses fascia, easing tension, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing — helpful for chronic pain, recovery, and mobility.

Myofascial Release

Reducing tension and restriction within your muscles and fascia with direct, hands-on pressure to your tissues.

Pelvic Health for Women

Pelvic health is an essential — but often overlooked — part of a woman's overall wellness. Whether you're dealing with pelvic pain, incontinence, core weakness, or postpartum recovery challenges, these issues are common but not normal, and you don't have to live with them.

I offer specialized, one-on-one pelvic health therapy that restores strength, balance, and function to your core and pelvic floor in a safe, supportive environment.

Pelvic Health for Men

Pelvic health isn't just a women's issue — men experience pelvic floor dysfunction too, and it often goes undiagnosed. Issues like pelvic pain, incontinence, post-prostatectomy complications, and core weakness can significantly affect quality of life.

I provide specialized, discreet, one-on-one pelvic health therapy for men, addressing the root causes through targeted manual therapy, corrective exercises, and education.

Personal Training for Seniors (In-Home or Onsite)

Move better, feel stronger, live fully. Aging isn't a sentence to weakness, pain, or loss of independence — your body is always capable of improvement with the right approach.

Programs are tailored to support balance, joint health, muscle loss, and bone density so you can stay active, mobile, and pain-free.

Personal Training (In-Home or Onsite)

A customized, holistic approach to fitness and wellness, starting with a detailed assessment of your unique needs and goals.

Personalized plans blend strength, flexibility, and cardio with joint-friendly training and expert one-on-one guidance for proper form — focused on sustainable, long-term progress.

Postural Re-Education

Using verbal and tactile (hands-on) cues to improve your alignment, reducing tension placed on your muscles and joints.

PNF Contract-Relax Stretching

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) uses nerve impulses to recruit muscles through stimulation of receptors in your muscles and tendons, plus tactile, visual, or verbal cues — a hands-on technique that improves strength, flexibility, and motor control.

Contract-relax stretching is a component of PNF that uses a resisted muscle contraction while a structure is on stretch to improve range of motion and relax shortened or restricted tissue.

Restore & Release

Manual stretching, myofascial therapy, and nervous-system techniques. After assessing your needs, you relax while I use a personalized blend of assisted stretching, myofascial manual therapy, and the NeuroStretch Method, adjusting throughout based on your body's feedback. Sessions: 75 min.

Senior Aquatic Therapy

A safe, effective way for seniors to improve strength, balance, and mobility without the joint stress of land-based exercise. The water's buoyancy supports your body while providing resistance to build muscle and bone health.

Personalized one-on-one sessions help you move comfortably, recover faster, and stay active with confidence.

Senior Physical Therapy

Aging doesn't mean accepting pain, stiffness, or loss of independence. Care focuses on improving balance, strength, mobility, and joint health through gentle, personalized treatment.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing arthritis, or preventing falls, hands-on therapy and targeted exercises keep you moving confidently.

The Silan System

Unlike conventional Physical Therapy that treats symptoms in isolation, the Silan System looks at your entire body — muscles, fascia, nervous system, and daily movement patterns — to find what is actually driving your pain and fix it at the root.

Soft Tissue Mobilization

Hands-on muscle release bodywork combining several techniques: massage, myofascial release, cupping, strumming, bending, Jones compression, cranio-sacral, tissue flossing, and active muscle release.

Trigger Point Therapy

Treatment of soft-tissue / myofascial restriction caused by fibrotic changes in tissue that refers pain to related body regions.

TMJ / Jaw Therapy

Comprehensive treatment for the jaw: external and internal soft-tissue mobilization and massage, joint mobilization to improve mouth opening, and neuromuscular re-education to retrain proper jaw movement and breathing.

Includes self-care education and simple exercises to support and maintain your progress between sessions.

Ultrasound Therapy

Uses sound waves to generate deep-tissue heat, promoting healing in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Vertigo / Vestibular Therapy

Whether your vertigo originates from an inner-ear disturbance or a problem in your neck, there can be relief.
