Manual physical therapy isn’t just about movement — it’s about how your body heals and thrives
Manual physical therapy is a hands-on, whole-body approach that looks beyond symptoms to uncover the true source of discomfort or dysfunction. Rather than focusing only on strength or flexibility, manual therapy begins with a simple but powerful question: why is this happening?
Every session starts with one-on-one care, a detailed history, and a deep understanding of your unique story — sometimes reaching all the way back to childhood. Injuries, surgeries, stress, posture, even emotional or nutritional factors can leave lasting imprints on the body. These often show up as somatic dysfunctions—subtle restrictions that may prevent traditional treatments like exercise from being fully effective.
Heather’s approach is to treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis. She evaluates the entire body to identify which systems need support — including the musculoskeletal, visceral (organ-related), lymphatic, and autonomic nervous systems — because true healing happens when all these parts work together in balance.
Using gentle yet powerful manual techniques, Heather works with the body’s natural rhythms to release restrictions. This method can be applied across systems — from cranial and respiratory to digestive, urinary, and reproductive — allowing for improved circulation, fluid drainage, and nervous system regulation.
Just like you wouldn’t play a round of golf with only one club, Heather doesn’t rely on a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, she draws from a range of tools and techniques to ensure your treatment is effective, supportive, and long-lasting.
