In 2019 Pat became a licensed Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) practitioner. FSM is a technique that works by delivering a very mild, low-level electrical current to specific parts of the body to assist and speed up the healing process (learn more about FSM here). By customizing the frequency settings, based on the type of tissue involved and her patient’s condition, Pat is able to effectively address a variety of issues ranging from fibromyalgia pain and sports injuries to IBS and neuropathies.
Pat describes her personal philosophy of care in the following way, “As a Physical Therapist, my first goal is to help patients become more attuned their own bodies. I listen to what patients say, but I also pay attention to what their muscles, tendons, and viscera tell me. The body has its own, very powerful wisdom, and time and time again, I’ve witnessed the body’s incredible power to heal, especially when given comprehensive therapeutic support.”
