Kaitlyn has a great appreciation for how interconnected the body is. She uses ConnectTherapy™ (a biopsychosocial framework) and The Thoracic Ring Approach™. developed by Canadian Physiotherapist Dr LJ Lee. ConnectTherapy is an approach that looks at the person as a whole and aims to identify any underlying influences/causes to your presenting problem. It uses whole body assessment of meaningful functional movements to help you understand your body better and to assist in the design of a targeted treatment program to help alleviate your symptoms.
