Guides to the work Dana actually does.

Long-form guides, one per kind of case. Each one says what the treatment involves, roughly how many sessions it takes, and when Dana would send you somewhere else instead.

By condition

Sports injuries and athletic performance

Rotator cuff and shoulder impingement · IT band and patellar tendinopathy · Achilles and plantar fasciitis · tennis and golfer’s elbow · training recovery

For the athlete whose imaging came back clean and whose shoulder still catches at the top of the swing. What Dana does differently, two cases from her practice, and how long it usually takes.

Low back pain · sciatic referral · disc pathology · stenosis · facet joint pain · neck and shoulder pain

Neurological conditions

Peripheral neuropathy · Bell’s palsy · post-stroke recovery · nerve pain · carpal tunnel · migraine

Long COVID and autoimmune conditions

Post-viral fatigue · brain fog · autoimmune flares · symptoms that keep moving

For the patient whose bloodwork keeps coming back normal. What treatment looks like when the picture will not sit still, and what Dana tells people about timelines.

Working alongside physical therapy

Plateaued rehab · post-surgical recovery · strength that will not return

The two are not alternatives. This is how they fit together, when to run them at the same time, and what to tell your physical therapist.
