Treatment Philosophy
Francisca recognizes our daily activities - our work, exercise and physical routines - play a major role in how we define ourselves and measure our happiness. Therefore, she seeks to help her patients learn to make their daily activities sustainable, to avoid injury and ultimately promote long term, healthy outcomes, She works with her patients to understand more about their condition and to design treatments that are habit forming and complimentary to their lifestyles. Her biggest reward comes from watching her patients discover new routines that improve overall health and function and achieve meaningful, life long goals.
