Rehabilitation session

In my follow-up sessions, we'll review the exercises I provided after the initial evaluation to ensure you understand them correctly. I will adjust and progress the exercises as needed to help you move closer to your goals. Since everyone is unique, I continually tweak and adapt the exercises based on how your body responds to them during each session.

Free 15min in-person (or over the phone) meeting

I’ve found that once people decide to come in for a session, they quickly see the value of my services, and I consistently receive positive feedback and results. The challenge, however, is getting people to take that first step and make an appointment. Many are unsure about what a biokineticist does or whether I can help with their specific situation. That’s why I offer a free 20-minute consultation—a no-strings-attached chat to address any questions or concerns you may have, and to see if and how I can assist you. It’s simply an opportunity to discuss your needs and explore your options.

Body Compositions Analysis

The INBODY Scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure key body composition parameters within a few seconds. To ensure precise measurements, it sends multiple electrical currents through the body, generating up to six different impedance readings for the trunk and each of the four limbs, including Skeletal Muscle Mass, Body Fat Mass, and Body Fat Percentage.

Age-Related Muscle Weakness & Deconditioning

  • General strength training to combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia)

  • Exercises to improve endurance, mobility, and coordination

  • Functional movement training to support daily tasks (e.g., getting out of a chair, stairs, carrying groceries)

  • Preventing further decline through safe, progressive programs

Balance, Aging & Mobility

As we age, maintaining independence, strength, and confidence in movement becomes increasingly important. Our programs are designed to help older adults—and those experiencing reduced mobility—move safely, improve balance, and stay strong for everyday life. Whether you're looking to stay active, prevent falls, or regain confidence after illness or injury, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

  • Meniscus repairs or partial meniscectomy

  • Fracture repair and fixation surgeries (plates, screws, rods)

  • Tendon or muscle repairs

Post-Operative Recovery

Recovering after surgery requires more than just rest—it requires a structured, guided return to strength, mobility, and function. Our post-operative rehabilitation programs are personalized to your surgery, your body, and your goals. We work closely with your medical team to ensure a safe, effective recovery that restores confidence and prevents re-injury.
