Onsen™ Therapy

The style of therapy I have created is a product of my background in Exercise Physiology, personal training and an integrative type of therapy known as Onsen. My own personal approach emphasizes treating you as a total, integrated individual.

The treatment is designed according to the activities and work stresses engaged in, age, fitness/health level, personal approach, medical history as well as current assessment and symptoms. The assessment includes structural (skeletal) patterns and functional (soft tissue) patterns for balance, range of motion, strength and pain. Treatment takes on three levels:

Structural Correction: The realignment of the bony structure is achieved through a “soft” technique called “Muscle Energy Technique”.
Functional Correction: A variety of techniques are used to release, lengthen, flush and balance the specific soft tissues which have become shortened, adhered and imbalanced. This step is essential for the structure to remain aligned.
Exercise Therapy: Specific exercises are given to continue steps 1 & 2. Some muscles will be strengthened, while others are stretched. Posture, body mechanics and ergonomics are also worked with if applicable. Sports specific adaptations are made, as are suggestions and resources for lifestyle changes.

Now the basis for lasting recovery is established. In most cases pain can be
released in 1-3 treatments. Depending on the health, length of time the problem has existed, prior therapy, and willingness of the individual to participate in their healing, lasting recovery can take place in 2-6 treatments.
