I earned my Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy from Duke University in 1993 after receiving my Bachelors degree in Biology from Colby College in 1990. As a physical therapist, I have worked with a broad spectrum of adult clients in many different settings, including acute care, outpatient, home care, nursing home, assisted living and wellness facilities.
My clients range from those with orthopedic ailments to victims of stroke and other neurological conditions. I am also licensed as a massage therapist, and have found that by incorporating more customized manual therapy into my physical therapy sessions, I see even more dramatic effects in the results for my clients.
In addition to creating client-specific exercise programs for an extensive range of individuals, I have also taught many strength, flexibility, and balance classes to adults with, or at risk for, medical issues.I enjoy conducting workshops and presentations for audiences of all ages, with some of my recent classes including Exercises for a Healthy Back, Steps You Can Take to Prevent Falls, Strengthening for Independence, and Exercising with Arthritis and Osteoporosis.

When it comes to physical therapy, while manual therapy is obviously not an option over a video screen, therapeutic exercise and sage advice definitely is!
Telehealth services are a simple, secure way of getting the care you need in the comfort of your own home if an in-person visit isn't advised, possible, or necessary right now.
Telehealth PT is often called "telerehab", and it occurs in much the same way as Skyping, FaceTiming, or Zooming.
However, at Designing Fitness PT, we use a different, HIPAA-compliant video platform that protects your privacy.
