Pain is not your enemy. It’s your guide. 

 

My goal is a systematic approach to finding and eliminating muscular imbalances that lead to poor function and injury.  These techniques use pain, inflammation, and tension as a guide to the SOURCE of the problem.

 

Put simply, when some muscles aren’t communicating with the brain and other muscles step in and overperform, pain and tension occur.  Your body is an electrical system.  When muscles fire, they send signals to the brain that ignite healthy movement and performance.  When a muscle is stressed, it stops firing.  Other muscles compensate to keep motion possible, and these muscles feel tension and pain. 

 

My job is to restart the signal to muscles that are "offline" so that the body can regain optimal function. I re-activate muscles through hands-on Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT).  I help clients who are post surgery, neurologically compromised by disease, suffering from chronic injury, want to increase their performance level, and those wishing to be stable and active as our bodies age.
