ON THE TABLE
Her own practice has evolved beyond the structure of traditional Western medicine, centered on the belief that there is more to physical health than the physical. We are dynamic individuals with feelings, thoughts, and unique histories that shape our souls and spirits.
Come with any specific body issues that challenge you, long-standing or new. Your holistic physical therapy practice begins as the two of us listen to your body, understanding the challenges that have manifested and how they affect your life. An accurate history guides us in assessing active movement, the feel of joint, muscle and nerve tissue, and the contribution of posture and physical alignment. Together, we develop a personalized self care treatment plan supported by ongoing guidance and education.
Bella has been a board-certified physical therapist since 1972 with hundreds of hours of continuing education, including two year-long immersions in orthopedic manual therapy.
“After only 3 sessions with Bella (and plenty of practice at home) I am amazed at my progress. After a significant back injury my rehabilitation has required a slow gentle approach with significant modifications. Working gently with the roller has given me tremendous relief. It is an extremely effective tool to relieve pain and bring me back into balance. The act of rolling itself has created strength, tone, and agility in my body that I didn’t have when I started. The subtle work with psoas has been a HUGE game changer, giving me a relationship to my core I have never had, although I studied various movement modalities, studied and taught yoga, and been a lifelong dancer. This work is a revolution for my body/mind! For the first time since my injury, I have hope about the prospect of being able to dance again, and perhaps better than ever. That is thrilling!”
