Areas of Expertise

Areas of Expertise

  • Occupational Therapy: A form of rehabilitation in which patients receive an evaluation and a client-centered approach to treatment. The field of occupational therapy assesses a patient's physical and mental limitations and how it has affected their ability to participate in activities of daily living. These activities can be as basic as combing one's hair to returning to sports and exercise. Upon completion of the evaluation therapist and patient prioritize goals and treatment strategies in order for the patient to return to their daily activities.
     
  • Lymphedema Therapy: Lymphedema is a form of swelling that does not resolve itself over a prolonged period of time. Swelling can be congenital, or have a secondary cause such as cancer treatment. Any area of swelling can be treated. Lymphedema treatment programs are commonly referred to as complete decongestive therapy. This therapy most typically includes manual lymphatic drainage and compression wraps, as well as advisement on use of compression garments. 
     
  • Cancer Rehabilitation: Cancer rehabilitation can be beneficial at any phase in the cancer process from newly diagnosed to long after treatment. Each therapy program is designed to be client centered based upon their evaluation. Common symptoms treated include fatigue, impaired ROM, pain, postural changes, scar tissue restrictions and decline in balance. Goals for treatment are client centered, chosen to address improvements in daily function, and quality of life.
     
  • Therapeutic Massage: For those that are interested in a relaxing experience therapeutic massage for cash based clients is offered. 
     
  • Exercise: Depending upon patient's health, experience, and exercise goals clients are provided with guidance through a variety of exercise programs.
