1. Initial Evaluation​

​Your first visit is a 1-hour individualized evaluation, inclusive of medical history, review of medical and surgical interventions, measurements where appropriate (motion, strength, sensation, dexterity, and more), wound care as needed, and orthotic fabrication as necessary. In our conversation we will discuss your wants and needs from therapy, create personalized goals, and discuss steps to achieve those goals. You will leave with a personalized folder consisting of your treatment plan, exercises, and goals. 

​

2. Manual Therapies and Modalities

I believe that being a hands-on therapist is essential for patient healing.  I use a variety of manual therapy techniques including stretching, mobilization, manipulation, and massage to improve the functional, pain free use of your upper limb. In addition to this, I also use modalities as necessary to enhance tissue elongation, promote healing, and provide pain relief. This includes heat therapy, cold therapy, TENS and paraffin wax. 

​

3. Intervention Planning

Intervention planning is the ongoing, evolving process of planning and adjusting your treatment program. This may include wound care, orthotic fabrication, exercise, functional activities, endurance training, neuromuscular re-education, sensory re-education, manual therapies, and the use of modalities. Ideally, as our sessions progress, your treatments will increase in demand, effort, and functional use of your upper limb.
