CMI Physical Therapy
Receive physical therapy for specific musculoskeletal or neurological conditions.
Drawing on her 20 years of physical therapy experience and more than 10 years of work in Core Movement Integration, Kimi provides treatments for musculoskeletal injuries and neurological conditions that emphasize treating the whole body. She believes that the solutions to many bodily problems, especially chronic ones, lie in developing secure support in upright positions, and learning to move the body in an integrated way rather than part by part.
Kimi’s physical therapy treatments center around movement and exercise informed by the CMI Pathways and manual therapy techniques including myofascial release techniques, massage, and joint mobilization. Her goal is to teach her clients to take care of their own bodies by reducing wear and tear with integrated movement, by maintaining strength and flexibility with regular exercise, and by using self-help techniques such as self massage to address problem areas.
Kimi writes, “Successful physical therapy requires good communication on all levels, verbal and non-verbal, physical and emotional, and requires the participation of the client and sensitivity of the therapist. I strongly believe that for physical therapy to help, you have to do your homework. I will endeavor not to increase your pain and not to cause muscle soreness, but the consequences of any treatment or exercise are not entirely predictable. I don’t believe in ‘no pain, no gain;’ I believe in ‘no work, no gain.’ Ultimately I can’t ‘fix’ you, but I can help you ‘fix’ yourself.”
