Stress, pain and movement limitations are closely connected through the nervous system. As a physical therapist, I offer stress reduction practices designed to support regulation of the nervous system, improve movement quality, reduce fear of movement, and enhance overall function. Sessions are tailored to your needs and comfort levels, focusing on helping your body shift out of chronic tension and into a state that supports healing, mobility and resilience.

What is EFT / Tapping?

Tapping, also known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a powerful technique that combines the principles of modern psychology and ancient Chinese acupressure.

 

During a Tapping session, you focus on whatever may be causing you stress or discomfort while at the same time gently tapping with your fingers on a specific set of points on the body.

​

These points, called Tapping points or EFT Tapping points, correspond to traditional Chinese medicine acupoints found along the body’s meridians.

​

Tapping on these points sends calming signals to the brain, letting it know that it is safe to relax. It helps to turn down the brain’s stress response so that you can let go of your stress and find more balance, calm, and ease as you move forward.
