She is especially mindful that there is an emotional aspect of physical injuries and discomfort, and she seeks to empower her patients so they can confidently return to their active lifestyles.
It is women’s health that Althea has a special clinical interest and expertise in having trained with the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute. Her commitment is to provide women with the care they need and deserve to reconnect with their body and their strength to live their best life.

Althea is able to carefully evaluate her patient’s needs and tailor her multi-factorial approach accordingly. Althea deploys a range of behavioral strategies, manual therapies, modalities, therapeutic exercises, education and functional re-training with the sole aim of improving her patient’s quality of life.
