Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Kristin Jamieson, MSPT

Kristin’s philosophy is to focus on evaluating the source of pain and discomfort and treat it through manual methods such as myofascial release, trigger point, soft and deep tissue massage, muscle energy techniques, and joint mobilization. Kristin believes that teaching people how to move from a place of strength and stability will lead to decreased injury and pain. Kristin is also a certified Pilates instructor and finds great benefit in combining Pilates based rehab with traditional physical therapy based exercises.

60 min session: $90                                                


Massage/Bodywork/Reiki
Lucia Pizano, PTA, CMT

Lucia is a miracle worker!  She has been a physical therapy assistant for over 20 years and integrates that knowledge with her training as a massage therapist, master reiki practitioner, exercise trainer and sprint triathlete.  Enjoy a variety of massage types:  deep tissue, pre-natal, Swedish, etc. 

60 min session: $85
