Our integrative approach can help you get back to your best self. Myofascial release therapy in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Treatment approach
Our Belief in a Holistic Approach
My approach to treatment is grounded in the understanding that each person has a unique history, physical presentation, and set of needs.
John F. Barnes® Myofascial Release is the foundation of my practice. Through continued education and clinical experience, I have expanded the range of manual therapy approaches I draw from, allowing me to individualize treatment rather than rely on a single method.
I consider the person as a whole, taking into account their history, movement, areas of discomfort, functional limitations, and treatment goals. The techniques used during a session are selected according to the individual and may evolve as treatment progresses.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release, as developed and taught through the John F. Barnes approach, is central to my practice. This method uses specialized, sustained hands-on techniques to address restrictions in the fascial system.
My training in this approach continues to inform how I assess and treat each individual.
Integrative Manual Therapy
Visceral, Neural and Articular Approaches
My additional training through Barral-based manual therapy approaches informs how I work with the mobility and relationships of visceral structures, neural tissues, and joints.
These approaches may complement Myofascial Release when appropriate for an individual's presentation and goals.
CranioSacral Therapy
My training in Upledger CranioSacral Therapy provides another approach that I may incorporate into treatment. This gentle, hands-on method can be selected when it aligns with the individual's needs and the goals of the session.
A Treatment Approach Tailored to You
These methods are not necessarily separate treatments. They are approaches I draw from as part of an individualized clinical process.
Each session is guided by the person in front of me, with attention to their needs, comfort, goals, and response to treatment. My aim is to provide thoughtful care that supports function, movement, and overall well-being.
