About

My name is Alex and I practice osteopathic manual therapy as a licensed massage therapist and former personal trainer who has been mentored and trained by physical therapists in osteopathic manual therapy techniques as well as biomechanics training and corrective exercise. I believe the individual heals themselves, but treatments can help with pain, strain patterns and can often have positive influences on healing and recovery times.

As someone who practices osteopathic manual therapy, I believe 4 essential things which plays into my approach and treatment of the body:

1. One Integrated Unit: The person is a single unit comprised of body, mind, & spirit.
2. Self-regulation: The body can self-regulate, self-heal, and maintain health.
3. Structure & function: Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
4. Rational treatment: Treatment is based on understanding these basic principles of unity, self-regulation, and the relationship between structure and function.

Here are a few of my courses and credentials I have taken as a licensed massage therapist:
