Manual Physical Therapy 

Beta for Your Body offers specialized physical therapy services to address issues beyond strength and coordination. History of injury,  aging, sedentary jobs all drive limitations in mobility. As joints lose their normal mobility it often creates compensations that eventually lead to injury. As you try to recover from those injuries, it's a slow frustrating process if you are not addressing the mobility of adjacent joints and regions. My Fellowship training as a manual therapist has taught me to see these limitations in movement and identify faulty patterns. Understanding the biomechanics and soft tissue contributions to movement of every joint in the body gives me a creative lens to teach you how to mobilize your stiff links.

Evedence Based Exercise and Conditioning

Beta for Your Body harness the essence of physical therapy and strength and conditioning by providing you with the right training plan. Most people dealing with aches and pains have some weak links in their strength and coordination.  Following injury, most people have underlying motor control deficits. You might be able to move your joints fine but the relative stability of the joint is compromised due to altered timing and sequencing of the muscles that stabilize the joints.  This is my wheel house, I see those compensations and design movements that will restore patterns and resolve stresses on tissue driving chronic injury. Once the motor control is restored, a systematic dosed progression for training  is provided.
