Whole-body health to heal your body, mind, and spirit

As much as I would like to say that physical therapy can fix all problems in every area of your life, that would be a lie. At Empower Physio and Wellness, we specialize in helping you take care of your physical body. We have a whole-body health approach to treating pain and dysfunction of muscles and joints by creating individual care plans unique to every patient. That includes providing advice on general wellness to improve nutrition, hydration, sleep habits, and stress management to help the body heal itself.

In addition to seeing a physical therapist (of course), there are a few other experts you can work with on a regular basis to maintain a healthy lifestyle for your body, mind, and spirit.

Work with a therapist to process difficult emotions

Everyone can benefit from therapy! It’s not just for individuals who have experienced trauma. One of the biggest benefits is gaining a better understanding of yourself through exploration. A therapist provides a safe place to process emotions and create healthy boundaries to improve the quality of relationships with those around you. They also provide tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions. Health starts from within so it’s super important to focus on your mental health.

Turn your dreams into a reality by meeting with a life coach

If you haven’t ever met with a life coach, this is your sign! Life coaches specialize in making your goals a reality. They can also help you set realistic goals for your current circumstances by creating action plans to help you overcome physical and mental obstacles. Life coaches work with you to modify old habits and thought patterns that may be getting in your way while providing options to accomplish your goals.

When it comes to whole-body health, implementing this triple threat will change your life. They will help you heal your body, manage your emotions, and overcome limiting thoughts. By tackling these key three areas of your life, nothing can stop you!

I can’t recommend Dr. Stephanie or Dr. Lydia enough. They have provided me outstanding care while helping me overcome some upper back issues to allow me to get back into working out at a higher level. I myself am a PT and I knew I was in great hands after just our evaluation. It’s so refreshing to have a professional as skilled as them to give you feed back and help guide on your healing journey. Thank you so much Stephanie and Lydia and are a great team and provide top quality care!

When I first started seeing Dr. Steph, I was having daily stress/tension headaches up the back of my head and in my shoulders. Through dry needling and exercises that she gave me, I no longer experience those headaches! Dr. Steph has been a Godsend. She is such a good listener and immediately puts you at ease. Not only is Dr. Steph an awesome doctor, she is also an awesome human being!

I can’t say enough about Empower Physio and Wellness. I saw Dr.Steph to help with pain and immobility and walked away with more than just a physical fix. Dr.Stephanie works to get at the root cause of the problem, to truly fix the issue. To me, she’s more than just a physical therapist. I learned more about how the body is connected through proper breathing, mental connections and awareness and of course the physical connections.

Dr. Steph has been great to work with! She helped me put together many of the tools I already had to support my knees. Now I know when to do what (ice, elevate, foam roll, compression, etc). Also, we are working on some corrective exercises to further support my knees. I really appreciate the followup emails with videos and pictures of how to do the at home exercises. Takes all the memory and guess work out of it!

I can’t thank Dr’s Steph and Lydia enough for all they have done to help me! I was in so much pain and so frustrated when I started with them and between the dry needling and PT I can now walk and move again without pain. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with both Dr. Steph and Dr. Lydia. First off, the environment of their office is very welcoming and gives a nice “homey” feeling. Both doctors are easy to connect with as they are friendly, cheerful, and honest. You can tell how passionate they are about PT based on their very thorough history and examination. They are fantastic listeners who allow you to describe your story/symptoms without feeling rushed. They are also devoted on educating and empowering you as the patient to work on improving your symptoms. The improvement I saw after one visit was tremendous! I highly recommend!:)

Dr. Steph is absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, patient, easy to talk to, and comforting. She really focuses on the body as a whole instead of individual parts. I was nervous for the dry needling portion of my care and she eased my nerves and got me through it! Her space is warm and inviting too. She has nice background music playing along with an essential oil diffuser which makes the space so lovely. I can’t recommend Dr. Steph enough!! I’ll be back for all of my physical therapy needs!

The time spent talking through my unique situation, and really understanding and listening to me is invaluable. Steph provides detailed information and exercises to perform at home to continue building my mobility, strength, confidence in my abilities and decreases my stress and pain levels. She is generous with her time and knowledge and is a partner in my recovery. I am grateful for her patience with faith in me and I have, without a doubt, a vastly improved quality of life because of her work with me.

Dr. Steph is phenomenal! I came in with a lot of groin and hip pain. She diagnosed the problem, set up easy to follow exercises and did some dry needling. Within a couple weeks I was feeling much better and am back to running with no pain. Highly recommend!

I spent months trying to self correct severe foot pain that limited my ability to live a normal and active life. Stephanie not only corrected the issue, but she provided guidance in so many areas to help me live a healthier and happier life. If you hurt, schedule an appointment NOW! You won’t regret it.
