Dr. Anderson is an innovative therapist who regularly completes much more continuing education than is required to maintain her license out of a desire to help patients get well as completely and quickly as possible.

She has developed innovative exercises and protocols, and has a high level of skill with her hands with a broad range of manual therapy “tools” to accelerate healing as well. Her specialty is working with athletes or active individuals and people with neurological injuries/impairments such as vestibular, concussion, post-stroke, and multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Anderson has undergone a comprehensive training course to become a vestibular specialist and a specialist in treating concussions. Dr. Anderson and her team are utilizing techniques and tech that right now for those patients which can only be found in a few specialized clinics in the country and in professional sports. Another strong specialty is spine. Dr Anderson set out to become an expert in that area 20 years ago and along with her team gets very good results for clients with spine-related problems. Using strategies Dr. Anderson has developed, people who have had failed back surgeries regularly recover an active lifestyle not haunted by pain. Dr. Anderson’s team also regularly helps people who have been told they need back surgery to prevent it. For 20 years Dr. Anderson has invested her own time and money in many expensive courses that few therapists invest in and put in thousands of hours of internship training and coursework out a passion to provide the quickest and most complete healing possible to her patients. Some training she has received includes the following: NOI Group (an effective approach for relieving chronic pain), NAIOMT training, IPA, IASTM, Stanley Paris courses, Mulligan training, John Barnes myofascial release courses, Jones Strain-Counterstrain courses, Upledger training, Barral Visceral Manipulation, Makenzie, Carol McMakin frequency specific microcurrent, Neubie training, and of course vestibular and concussion continuing education.
