Aurora Physical Therapy

I love empowering my patients and letting them know that they aren't broken, and that hard work and dedication will always help them reach their goals. I love educating my patients about their pain and how to continue living the life they want to, even if symptoms flare up a little bit. I want my patients to leave knowing that they will be ok, and that they will be able to do all the things they want to do! Everyone is different and unique, so I treat everyone as their own individual person, no one deserves cookie cutter rehab and it's my goal to make sure people get the treatment they need!

I want to empower patients to push towards their goals and take control of their health. I love working with a wide range of patients and finding ways to improve their quality of life. I believe in treating with a comprehensive approach of manual techniques such as dry needling and joint mobilizations and then progressing to exercise specific to their goals.  

I believe in helping the body heal through a hands-on treatment approach then providing the patient with specific exercises aimed at helping them maintain their progress, reach their goals and prevent future injury. Educating the patient on their diagnosis and expectations is important for recovery and preventing reoccurrence. I am Level 2 Trigger Point Dry Needle certified

My treatment philosophy is still evolving as I figure out who I am as a Physical therapist Assistant. I like to listen to the body during my treatment sessions. I feel that the phrase “No pain, No gain” I feel is detrimental to an extent. Therapy should never be painful, you should feel like you are working out, but never making the pain worse. I think listening to the body is super important, it will tell you when it has had enough, and I don’t think ushing past that point is helpful to a patient's therapy journey.

I believe in treating the whole person rather than just their diagnosis with use of personalized care and treatment. Each individual is different, and therefore should be receiving treatment that is specific to them. Whether someone wants to be able to return to sports, gardening, or just be able to do household activities again, tailoring a treatment plan to their personal goals is so important. My favorite part of being a therapist is helping patients get back to doing what they love.  

I believe everybody is unique and different, therefore they should be treated as such in physical therapy. I'm big into finding out patient's functional goals for Physical Therapy or anything important in their life they feel limited in doing and helping them get back to 100 %.

I believe that you should not fear movement, my goal in this career path is to make sure my patients are comfortable moving in their own bodies. I believe a little bit of movement and exercise a day keep the doctors at bay.   

Hands on with each patient is a way to make a connection with each patient and to understand better what might be going on with their diagnosis and how to treat from there. It is about getting them back to as much function as possible.

I like to motivate our patients to reach their goals and help them achieve more than they think they can. Estamos aqui para ayudarle a lograr sus metas funcionales. (Translation: We’re here to help you achieve your functional goals)

I strive to empower each patient and their abilities throughout each appointment in order to make PT fun and feel rewarding at even the smallest steps of progress along the way. My goal is to make sure every patient feels comfortable, understood, and important and understands why the body acts the way it does during and after an injury.

To empower my patients to go beyond their perceived limitations and take their health into their own hands.

I believe in helping patients grow by guiding their education and development, empowering them to take charge of their own health. My goal is to serve as a tool that makes the rehabilitation process effective and efficient, while still creating a supportive and enjoyable environment where every patient feels confident in their rehab journey.
