Welcome to Rising Sun Physical Therapy!
Our Services:
Physical Therapy for neurologic conditions:
I treat a variety of neurologic conditions including Stroke, TBI, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Bell’s Palsy.

I teach you how to move more efficiently and give you tools to improve your function based your your own personal goals.

I treat orthopedic conditions including back pain, muscle injuries, neck pain, headaches, shoulder, hip Knee, and foot injuries, tendonitis, scar release. It is important to me to educate you about your injury and teach you techniques to help you heal faster and help you return to a pain-free active lifestyle.

All sessions are focused on you. You will have all my attention for the full session.
I use many modalities to assist you including manual therapy, functional mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), PNF, NDT, brain-based PT, McLoughlin scar release, and 4-quadrant stabilization.
I start with a comprehensive evaluation to assess your whole musculoskeletal and nervous system to find the root of your injury.
I include hands on one-on-one treatment every session.
Evaluations will be 75-90 min and treatment sessions are 50 min.
I send you home with individualized home exercise programs so that you can continue your progress faster.
