Discomfort Management

I aim to empower individuals to proactively manage discomfort and improve their quality of life without resorting to, or at least minimizing the use of, pharmaceuticals. A combination of non-invasive yet evidenced based strategies is used to achieve the objective. This includes incorporating tailored exercise regimens to improve strength, mobility, and overall physical function.
