Dan’s Philosophy of Treatment

Dan believes that most of the problems that we have in our bodies are the result of tightness in one area or another. Compressive forces will not allow movement to happen in one area, and, if movement is forced, another area will give way resulting in a sprain, strain, or tear. As our bodies try to heal, more tissue is laid down to make the area of the injury relatively still while everything kneads together. By dealing with the areas and factors that are involved in the tightness that created the weakness, the cause can be addressed. This requires an holistic approach whereby the whole body is assessed and can be involved in treatment. Based on this information, a treatment plan is then developed utilizing specific exercises, and myofascial release to help his clients recover, reach their goals and return to activity.  His hobbies include running, reading, tennis, vacationing, chess, history, and spending time with loved ones.
