A holistic approach to physical therapy

Nothing in the body works in isolation.

All the systems of the body affect each other and work with each other to maintain a healthy, balanced state.

In order to have whole-body health, each body system has to be healthy and performing well.

A holistic approach to physical therapy takes all of these connections into account. That is why every patient receives a total body evaluation, what ever the issue is.

I treat the root cause of your problem, not just isolated symptoms. I prioritize full healing while also providing effective relief of your symptoms.

Who I work with:

Are you looking for someone who will see the whole picture?

Are you frustrated by practitioners who focus on only one area at a time, when you know they are all related?

If you have chronic pain or dysfunction, and have not found relief through more conventional physical therapy, a holistic approach can often be the key.

Clients come to me with pain or discomfort caused by…

  • Injuries that aren’t healing properly despite prior treatment

  • Pain that stems from poor posture

  • Repetitive stress injuries

  • Stress-related stiffness or fatigue

  • Headaches & TMJ dysfunction

  • Low back pain and sciatica

  • Joint problems

  • Pain caused by hypermobility and lack of core stability

The Three Steps to Regaining Health

The Initial Phase

Relieve pain and release restrictions through hands-on work.

The first few sessions focus on manual therapy to improve mobility and alignment. These sessions are gentle and relaxing.

“Deirdre combines her highly developed technical skills with an unusual sensitivity to individual needs.”

The Core Phase

Gain strength and stability through exercise.

As pain decreases, the following sessions focus on targeted exercises to strengthen your core, improve your posture, and increase your daily movement. I will also design a home exercise program for you.

“Working in the proper posture really helps me open up my back, and breathe better!”

-DF

The Final Phase

Return to a fully active life!

Whatever it is that you weren’t able to do, whether it’s sports, playing an instrument or playing with your grandkids—we will analyze the building blocks of movement you need and methodically work to incorporate them into your life.

"I don’t dread sitting down at the computer anymore and I’m not in pain while working."

My philosophy in practice

Traditional Physical Therapy…

  • Focuses on treating the symptom

  • Treats the parts of the body in isolation

  • Has a limited scope

  • Focuses on specific functional goals

My Holistic Approach…

  • Addresses the root cause of your issue

  • Works with the foundations of health

  • Increases energy and vitality

  • Helps the body heal itself

Meet your therapist:

I'm Deirdre Finn, PT, OCS

After 30 years in practice, I still wake up every day passionate about helping you achieve optimal health, whatever that means to you.

I know from personal experience how hard it is when pain and restrictions stop you from enjoying life to the fullest. 

In order to heal, I needed treatment approaches that worked deeply to unravel old patterns and re-establish healthier ones.

Following my interest in anatomy and physiology, and listening to my intuitive side, led me to a holistic focus. This included whole body healing, and working with the nervous system, as well as more traditional physical therapy. I found this focus in Osteopathy.
