Kaylin earned her Master of Physical Therapy at Northwestern University and has been practicing in Marin for over 20 years. She has extensive training in manual therapy techniques, as well as a functional approach. What sets her apart is her ability to work on all the systems of the body. She is intuitive and gentle. She believes that the body has an inherent ability to heal, but we develop compensatory patterns that inhibit our healing process. Through her manual techniques she begins to peel back the layers of compensation, thus allowing the body to change in a positive direction.
About a year after becoming a PT I knew I needed to find a way to help people on a deeper level. I started to take different manual therapy courses and saw faster change utilizing the techniques I had learned. During this time my mother was diagnosed with a respiratory problem. Her doctor said she would have to use an inhaler the rest of her life. This was a turning point in my training as I was introduced to "Integrative Manual Therapy" (IMT) when I signed up for a Respiratory Rehabilitation Course. After the course I treated my mother with the various techniques I learned and her respiratory issues went away. This launched me into many years of training in IMT techniques and mentoring under several masters in this field.
Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) is a vast collection of techniques that allow one to treat all the systems of the body not just the musculoskeletal system. One looks for aberrant patterns in the body that are limiting its ability to heal. Through gentle manual techniques one can release tensions in various tissues thus changing the compensatory patterns of the body and help guide it back to balance. IMT can go beyond just treating the physical self, it can address mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the body and how they may be holding patterns that limit mobility and function. Some techniques we use are myofascial release, craniosacral techniques, visceral mobilization, neural tension releases, trigger point releases, and joint/muscle techniques. Most of the techniques are in-direct, meaning not forcing the body into a position, but guiding the body to change.
Once the body changes it needs to be re-trained to stay in the more optimal position. Through targeted exercises, stretches, and activities of daily living changes you can maintain the positive effects of your therapy.
