Art & Science, Physical Therapy and Pilates Rehabilitation

"Art and Science Physical Therapy and Pilates Rehabilitation provides skilled, eclectic and function-oriented rehabilitation to residents of Ft. Collins and Northern Colorado." ~ Mission Statement

Focus of Treatment

Although Art and Science Physical Therapy and Pilates Rehabilitations can provide services to any patient with orthopedic or neurologic diagnoses, my passion, interest and skills are best suited to patients with chronic conditions. My practice is built upon the foundations of Manual Therapy and Movement Re-Training.

Manual Therapy
My training has been eclectic. Courses studied and applied include, Spine and Extremity Mobilizations, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Feldenkrais and Therapeutic Touch.
The following areas of emphasis, however, are areas from which I draw most frequently:
• Myofascial, scar and deep soft tissue work (since 1977)
• CranioSacral Therapy (since 1992)
• Jones’ Strain/CounterStrain (since 1992)
• Orthotic casting and prescription (since 1994)
• Muscle Energy Techniques (since 1995)
• Polestar Certified Pilates Rehabilitation Practitioner (since 2003)

Movement Re-Training
My career in Physical Therapy has always been drawn toward movement and movement re-training. It wasn’t until this year that I received the training which provides me with my most dramatic tools. Pilates Rehabilitations Certification is reserved only for Physicians, Physical Therapists, Athletic Trainers, Occupational Therapists or Registered Nurses – those with formal education and training in musculoskeletal evaluation and management. This certification program requires 414 hours of training, a written and a practical exam as well as an oral defense.
