I have spent over 30 years in the medical field as a Orthopedic Physicians Assistant and Certified Orthopedic Surgical Assistant. My speciality was Total Joint Replacement and Spinal Corrective and Reconstructive Surgery.
As a Surgical Assistant to the Orthopedic and Neuro Surgeons I have been involved with thousands of orthopedic and neurological surgeries ranging from Sports Injuries, Tramatic Injuries, Total Knee & Hip Reconstructions, and Corrective and Reconstructive Spinal Surgeries.
After retiring in 2009 I returned to the classroom and recieved my Massage License after over 1,000 hours of classroom work and clinical rotation.
I how have entered the role of Alternative Health Practitioner as a Orthopedic Massage and Neuromuscular Therapist. With my extensive medical and surgical background I have a clear understanding of many musculoskeletal and soft-tissue problems and the pain dysfunctions that can result from them. With the incorporation of this newly acquired knowledge, and my thirty year experience assisting in Orthopedic and Neurological Surgery I not only recognize the problems associated with muscular and soft-tissue injuries and dysfunctions, but also understand the solution, and the therapeutic intervention neccessary to help elevate symptoms, reduce painful dysfunctions, and restore normal function.
