Who We Serve
Young Athlete
Club Athletes, Ninjas, Gold Medal Winners on the playground: Kids today are involved in sports at a higher intensity, and sometimes may be choosing one sport to participate in year round. This places stresses on their bodies while they are still developing and can cause muscle imbalances and overuse injuries at or around growth plates. We understand the effects of this and can help to recover and return to playing while also empowering the kids and families with information to avoid continued problems on their road to becoming an athlete, FOREVER.
Aspiring Athlete
High school, College Athletes: realizing their dreams to get to the NEXT LEVEL are a real possibility and turning it up a notch! They are invincible and underestimate the different aspects required to make it to the next level. These athletes require cont. attention to reversing muscle imbalances that occur with the cont. efforts and time performing their chosen sport. They need people who understand what it takes to get to the next level with expertise on how to balance the drive while also learning the importance of taking care of their bodies to make sure their bodies can cont. to produce, FOREVER.
Pro Athlete
Top of the Game: constantly producing at the top level, constantly being threatened by the new up and coming athletes – breakdown and near breakdown are always knocking on the door. Body work and attention to recovery are essential to being an athlete, FOREVER.
Lifestyle Athlete
The runner, the spinner, the hiker, the Cross Fit games, the beach body, the fitness enthusiast at home or in the gym: Everything about life is about continuing to compete, even if it is with yourself to be the best version of you out there! Problem, you are not 20 and your body doesn’t always keep up with your lifestyle. Injuries may start small and ignored becoming debilitating to this lifestyle or may be more traumatic in nature, we can get to the root of the problem to help you return as fast as possible understanding the importance of being fit, FOREVER.
Casual Athlete
Life is your Sport with a dab of recreational FUN: the constant sitting at the computer or in the car, the repetitive movements required to perform your job, and maybe the sporadic weekend adventure after intermittent workouts at best cause a breakdown and muscle imbalances which are equally imperative to rehabilitate in order to provide for the lifestyle in which you are still dreaming to achieve so that you too can continue to play for yourself or just with your kids, FOREVER.
Senior Athlete
Retired and Refusing to Quit! : your game and your intensity may have changed, but you are still moving and plan to keep moving to enjoy what should be the best part of your life! Your body will need help from time to time in different ways which may include working out the aches and more frequent muscle pulls, balance training, or post-surgical rehabilitation. The program may be a little different now, but as long as you are moving and staying active – you ARE still an athlete, FOREVER.

As a clinician she has learned that no two bodies are the same and no one method works for all. Therefore, she places high value on what she has learned from the many great therapists and physicians she has had the opportunity to work with and on continuing to learn new techniques in order to offer the best treatments to each individual she works with. Terra has developed a holistic treatment philosophy which emphasizes evaluating and treating the whole kinetic chain and areas around the injury in order to restore proper whole body movement patterns to minimize risk of re- injury and optimize performance. She recognizes the importance of identifying what contributed to the injury, correcting the problem and educating the individual on all aspects of how to prevent re-injury including proper hydration/nutrition, sleep, stress relief, recovery methods and periodization of activity/training.
