Aurora Physical Therapy

My treatment philosophy is centered on a holistic, patient-centered approach that empowers individuals to take control of their health and well-being. I believe in treating not just the symptoms, but also the underlying causes of a patient's condition. Every person is unique, and my goal is to understand each patient’s specific needs, lifestyle, and goals to create a customized treatment plan that supports their recovery and long-term wellness.

Maddie enjoys working with patients of all ages. Maddie collaborates with her patient’s goals and uses their ambitions, whether it is skiing, playing with their kids, or simply walking, to drive their treatment. She utilizes evidence-based practice in combination with manual therapy and functional movement assessments to drive the treatment sessions and return her patients to living a more active lifestyle. Maddie is working towards her Manual Therapy Certification (MTC) through the University of St. Augustine

I utilize evidence based research to create an individualized treatment plan for you. I strive to help you achieve your personal functional goals through education, hands on techniques, and a main focus on exercise so that you are able to maintain your progress independently and keep doing the things you enjoy.

I believe that a strong level of communication between patients and providers sets the foundation for success in Physical Therapy. From that point we can work together to isolate barriers to success and ensure an effective progression towards your goals.

I treat with a multi-faceted approach, using the best of theory/philosophy for exercise prescription, manual therapy and modalities tailored to each client. THe emphasis should be on pain reduction, tissue healing and restoration of normal and effective movement patterns. I am Dry Needle Level 2 Certified. Trained in Myofascial Decompression Therapy (Cup Therapy) and in Graston Technique. Pre-pregnancy, Prenatal, and Post-Partum obstetric physical therapy trained. I have two young children myself and would love to work with more women through that time of their lives and the physical changes that come with i

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)
