Get stronger and overcome chronic pain & injury. Now accepting new clients in Minneapolis-Saint Paul.

Begin your journey to recovery with holistic physical therapy. I take the time to understand your specific needs and challenges, crafting a personalized plan that addresses the root of your problems and helps you work toward accomplishing your goals. Orthopedic physical therapy typically involves therapeutic exercise and manual therapy techniques such as cupping, myofascial release, and dry needling.

I treat a wide range of orthopedic conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Neck and shoulder pain

  • Back and tailbone pain

  • Hip and pelvic pain

  • Foot, knee, and ankle pain

  • Hypermobility and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS)

  • Dance and performing arts injuries

Orthopedic Physical Therapy

Are you an injured dancer or performing artist?

I can help you! My journey to physical therapy started with my lifelong passion for dance. I have Bachelor’s Degree in Dance Science from Muhlenberg College and I’m a certified Dance Medicine Specialist through the Dance PT Program.

There is no limit to the genres I can treat. I am passionate about helping Twin Cities dancers of all ability levels and backgrounds, from the young pre-professional artist to the adult recreational dancer. Some of my favorite populations to treat are ballet dancers, contemporary dancers, Latin dancers, heels dancers, and pole dancers.

The needs of a dancer are unique and it is important that you choose a health care provider who fully understands this. I can help dancers who have an active injury or are more focused on conditioning and injury prevention.
