MEET YOUR THERAPIST:
After being out of the water with back pain for over a year, I started my PT practice with a mission to help others avoid the same experience. Between 2013 and 2019, I have had to undergo 3 lumbar spine surgeries, (including one in Panama), because I could not walk upright, sneeze, sleep or surf without pain. As a result, I can completely empathize with others who have been dry-docked with an injury and out of the water.
My journey has taught me that rebuilding physical strength after an injury is only part of the equation of healing. While my professional training as a physical therapist taught me how to heal and prevent injury from a mechanical perspective, my personal experience and life coaching training has shown me that oftentimes there’s a lot more to the equation than ‘fixing’ an injury, sometimes requiring problem solving, strategizing how to navigate the health care system, and coming up with a game plan that will get you to your goal.
