Physical Therapy for the WHOLE PERSON, integrating the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education, core exercises, and myofascial release, for neuromuscular healing, pain relief, and optimal physical functioning. Individual sessions are never 'cook-book' therapy, instead are tailor made each moment by complete presence and responsiveness to your needs. Weekly group classes compliment your private sessions

Mary Susan is a licensed Physical Therapist and a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. She has worked for over 25 years with people with disabilities and those wishing to maximaize their potential.

Your body-mind-spirit is designed for healing. In our current culture we tend to think of ourselves as parts that need to be fixed, as if a mechanic can adjust one part without disturbing the whole. We get caught in patterns of living that are not always helpful nor healthy. The proper non-invasive techniques can stimulate your system to find its own healthy balance. Releasing the myofascial system which connects every cell in your body can be effective for lasting pain relief. The Feldenkrais Method® can guide you toward new movement patterns and freedom.
