Assessment and treatment techniques reflect advanced training in varied styles of manual therapy, movement assessment and facilitation techniques. Therapy approaches studied include: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Orthopedic Manual Therapy, Myofascial Release, CranioSacral Therapy, and Foundations of Svaroopa® Yoga.
