SERVICES

Risk mitigation in relation to injuries.
- I don't believe we can completely prevent injuries but we can lower the risk of them occurring), rehabilitation, Injury diagnosis and treatment plan creation. Lifestyle changes and coaching also offered, such as wellness tips and alternative wellbeing practices such as breathing techniques and yoga.
My treatment philosophy can be encapsulated in the "Three E''s" :
- Education - My job as a healthcare provider is to educate you on your body so you understand what is happening beyond a diagnosis as well as being educated on what the treatment options are
- Empowerment - Do they feel empowered to be a part of the decision making process in their own health care? The patient needs to be feel empowered to speak up and share decisions so I can truly provide patient centered care
- Experience - What is their experience with this injury, athletic trainers, their body, etc because that can affect how we treat, i.e coming in with a mentality of this not working, can greatly impact something working for them
A true patient-centered approach to holistic body and full person care.
- You are more than just your body and I will provide all treatment options available so we can customize and individualize your plan, there is absolutely no cookie cutter approach in my care.

A MESSAGE FROM MEGAN

Today in Western medicines, we often get told what we have and what to do about it without feeling included. My goal is to empower each of my patients to take ownership of their health and help make decisions with my guidance educating them on the impact those decisions will have on their health. I want every patient I meet with to understand their body better after meeting with me and feel like they are in control of their own health and wellness journey. Ultimately, I want to get them to the point where they don't need to see me because they've gotten better
