Why work with me?

My philosophy towards healing

I listen to you. We listen to your body. We find what works for your life.  

It rests on these principles

Active Listening

You are the expert of your own body.  I listen and use my skills and knowledge to help support what you and your body is telling me it needs to heal.

Pain= NO Gain

Why should you and your body trust me to help you if I am causing you pain? Staying gentle and only using the minimum force necessary produces longer lasting changes.

Holistic Approach

I examine the interaction of you and your environment, your lifestyle, and your whole body, not just the part that hurts, because all these factors affect you and your ability to heal.  

What People Are Saying

After several years and many other physical therapists, Stefanie is the first one that has given me hope

Tanya J

Stefanie is very empathetic with the challenges of daily life and gives many examples of easy things to do during the day to reduce pain while trying to get ahead of my muscle spasms before they even start.

John K

She listened carefully to what I was experiencing and tailored each session to address my immediate needs.  I found Stefanie to be a master at the massage that my muscles needed; gentle yet firm enough to make an impact.  I was impressed by Stefanie’s knowledge and her ability to assist with my ailment.

Dawn G

As a fellow medical professional, I know good care when I receive it ...Thank you for the kind, compassionate, and educated professional care I received

Linda H

[She] does not use a one-size fits all formula or "cookie cutter" approach to PT. She takes the time during her evaluations to not only assess your current physical condition due to your injury, but also your unique body limitations and lifestyle considerations. Stefanie develops a personalized program that is both reasonable and effective in achieving the goals you set out to accomplish.
