About Body Language Physical Therapy

Body Language Physical Therapy is a healing center, a movement studio - dedicated to the exploration of the body & movement in the journey of being and becoming your best.

Your body provides you with information about yourself. Do you listen? Your body expresses yourself to others. What are you telling them?

Freedom to move is the freedom to express self, and to experience life to its fullest.

Body Language Physical Therapy creates a virtual space that will:

• Inspire you to experience self thru your body.
• Facilitate your experience of self being this magnificent body.
• Facilitate  appreciating the body of knowledge you travel with daily.
• Provide information on health and caring for the body.
   

For those who are injured or limited our goal is to be able to facilitate restoration, health and return of function. To regain optimal movement and maximize functionality.

For those who have achieved a high level of performance we can facilitate the next step… consistent performances, the next level of performance, thru postural and biomechanical refinement, zone training, balance. 'What got you this far can get you no farther' …we facilitate breaking the bounds of habit, adding to your vocabulary of movement, and increasing options and improving performance.

She has mentored with Wendy Burke & Cindy Baily for Kinesio Taping and with Chris Powers for current research and treatment of PFP.

The Mythogenic Self™ process has enriched her life in ways words could never describe. She will tell you that one of her most important and useful learnings has been that the dynamic ‘zone’ state as a baseline does not come from engaging in physical activity, it is the state from which you start before you even begin.
