Sue’s
clinical interests are broad, but are centered on an in depth
understanding of the body’s functional movement patterns and how it
operates in balance. When injury strikes where has this balance
being impacted and what is necessary to correct it to not only to
heal the injury, but to make the system more efficient and prevent
injury from occurring again. This is achieved with a manual therapy
hands on approach integrated with appropriate exercise prescription.
