As a physical therapist I reside and work in Hawaii eight months of the year and practice in Alaska during the summer months where I work with orthopedic doctors doing pilates-based rehab in a one-on-one setting. I came to the island in 2005 from Northern California where I was educated and raised my children. I started working at Club Rehab in 2006 and was part of the team which brought the Mauka clinic from a very small clinic next door to Dr. Kimura’s office to the large facility with a gym which serves the community today.
I have strong skills when it comes to complex trauma recovery with multiple fractures and head injuries as well as neurological deficits such as MS, Parkinson’s, strokes. I am well-versed in all deficits stemming from core/abdominal deficits that manifest in functional deficits affecting sports and functional disorders as knee, hip, lumbar and cervical pain. Postural and gait analysis is essential with all my evals and treatments as dynamic analysis is essential for my plan of care and patient recovery.
