Two Rivers Physical Therapy and Wellness

Physical therapy and wellness, including the Schroth Method for scoliosis and wellness packages offered in Grand Junction, CO.

Physical therapy is often thought of as a way to recover from injury, but it can also have a positive impact on your overall health and quality of life.  Physical therapists are invaluable resources and act as clinicians, coaches, teachers, and guides.  Read on to learn more about my services and if I’m the right fit for you.

If you (or your child) have been diagnosed with scoliosis, you may feel unsure what this means for your long-term health or what you can do about it.  Depending of the severity of your symptoms, you can gain control over the progression of scoliosis (or excessive kyphosis) and learn conservative strategies to take care of your spine, improve your posture, and optimize your prognosis. 

The practice of yoga offers strategies to improve mind, body, and spiritual health.  You don’t need to be flexible or fit to  practice yoga.  True yoga meets you where you are. You may invest as little or as much time as you want into learning how to apply yoga concepts in your life.

I’m a physical therapist and also a yoga therapist.  You may benefit from working with me first if you have underlying concerns that make a group session intimidating.

You don’t need to be injured or sick to want to feel better.  Wellness is essentially proactive and preventative medicine.  It’s the decisions you make everyday towards improved mind, body, and spiritual health.  I’d be honored to be a part of your network of providers guiding you to towards optimal health.  Check out my offerings to learn how I may help.

Happy New Year!  This month, I share research on Iliotibial Band Impingement Syndrome, tips on reducing sugar intake, and how to do a Bulgarian lunge.  

With over 25 years as a physical therapist (PT), my career has predominantly focused on outpatient orthopedics.  I love learning about the body and mind and how they work together.  I value research and do my best to stay at the forefront of evidence-based practices.  I also see the value in alternative therapies and am continually learning more about the complexities of health and healing.  

I hold certifications in orthopedics, manual therapy, yoga therapy, and specialize in areas such as functional breathing. These diverse skills provide me with a comprehensive view of health and wellness.   My background has enriched my understanding of pain, disease, and dysfunction, enabling me to offer an integrated approach.
