Bozeman Physical Therapist
I have been a Licensed Physical Therapist for over 20 years in beautiful Bozeman, MT and have advanced training in both craniosacral therapy and lymphatic drainage therapy. I incorporated dry needling into my physical therapy practice ten years ago and have a passion to assist others with their healing process.
I have always been interested in how the body works and moves. Even as a wilderness camp counselor, I enjoyed teaching my campers proper body mechanics on how to flip and carry a canoe, various paddle strokes and how to put on a backpack more efficiently with less back strain.
After receiving my Master’s degree in Physical Therapy at the College of St. Catherine in Minneapolis, Minnesota I decided to move out to Bozeman, Montana. Following school, I continued to explore more alternative therapies. Throughout the years, I continue to appreciate the combination of traditional and non-traditional therapies and how a person can benefit from receiving both.
In my practice, I look at how the body moves and how a person breathes. Assessing the internal patterns that are contributing to the outer patterns of the body and causing pain, tension and decreased tolerance with activity. How a person’s digestion and nervous system are functioning are also important components to optimizing a person’s health. I believe the body has an amazing capacity to heal.
In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, mountain biking, Nordic skiing, rafting, camping and spending time with my family.
