  Nick is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 15 years of practice with a manual therapy focus.
What is it?
    • This is a combination of hands on techniques that I’ve developed over my 15 year career including the following
        • Craniosacral Therapy
        • Somato Emotional Release
        • Joint Mobilization
        • Soft Tissue Mobilization
        • Visceral Mobilization
What does a session entail?
    • After discussing how you are feeling that day we will jump right into treatment
    • Selection of techniques will be based on our conversation and my assessment of your body and movement patterns
    • The session will last around 2 hours
        • 1 hour is done for corrective techniques
        • 1 hour is done to help calm the nervous system
    • Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing
Goals of treatment
    • Reduce pain
    • Calm down the nervous system (overall stress reduction)
    • Restore normal movement
    • Enhanced sleep quality
    • Increased energy and focus
    • Decrease anxiety
Why work together?
    • Because you’ve tried a lot of other things (countless doctors, physical therapy, massage therapy, lab tests, etc.) and are still looking for relief
Common conditions treated:
    • While I don’t treat specific conditions, here is a list of conditions people have that I work with that get benefits from structural/postural corrections and nervous system calming

    • Nervous system disorders
        • Alzheimer’s Disease
        • Parkinson’s Disease

    • Musculoskeletal disorders/injuries of all types
        • Shoulder, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, foot, etc.
Who do I work with?
    • Everyone is of course the answer. However, the main focus starts with myself before I can help others. Now this might sound odd, but first and foremost I work on myself. This is the practice what you preach mentality. I have learned how to do a lot of self manual techniques as well as regularly get work done from other practitioners so that I can properly help you out.
    • My passion for others is helping anybody who is looking for help. I’ve been there myself physically and mentally and can appreciate what good help looks like. Other healthcare practitioners that are also parents is of course my biggest appreciation because this is where I am. The other big area of focus is for people who have tried a lot and are still frustrated with where they are at. If you feel like you’ve tried it all and are still not happy with how you feel, let me know and we will see what we can figure out for you.
