As a Physical Therapist, my philosophy of care is more osteopathic in nature, meaning I take a more wholistic approach to both the presenting problem and the overall treatment.  Attention is given to how all the parts surrounding the affected area may be contributing to the problem, as well as how they may be utilized in the healing process.  In addition to decreasing pain and restoring function, this approach also improves overall physiology and sense of well-being.
