Introduction: My fee covers an initial comprehensive evaluation, treatment and a home program. I bring a treatment table plus all the necessary equipment I have been a Physical Therapist and I have treated the entire spectrum of patients from geriatric to pediatric. I specialize in orthopedic - hands on therapy. I incorporate massage whenever I can. I feel that there is a healing power in touch. I have worked with patients who received a wheelchair evaluation and after a month of two of therapy they walked out!!! Very few things I have not been exposed too. I wear a mask, sanitize my table and Purell my hands.
