*Physical therapy services are now on hold
There is a distinct advantage in being evaluated by a Physical Therapist that is also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. With some physical issues, it can be confusing to track down if they are arising due to a Mechanical (Musculoskeletal) vs. a Trauma/Emotional/Stress (Psychosomatic) origin. A great example of how one physical condition could have two causes is tension stored in the neck and shoulders. This could be due to stress or it could be due to a physical injury.
Although this is the place we may be most familiar with holding stress, this same mechanism of stress holding can apply to other parts of the body as well. Many people hold stress in their jaw, back, and vocal cords just to name a few.
These pain patterns are as varied as we are unique and require individualized physical and emotional care.
We've only got one body and it needs to last us a lifetime for us to carry out our purposes. Due to the complex and overlapping causes of pain, it can be helpful to be evaluated with the discerning eye of someone who is trained in several different healing modalities. Schedule an appointment on the online calendar to reserve your spot and then come into the office in-person.
