She assists individuals to regain balance within their bodies by first determining the root cause of dysfunction through physical assessment and functional movement analysis, and then through treatment combining movement pattern retraining and exercise, with acupuncture, soft tissue release, and manual therapy, depending on the determined needs of each individual.
