Why Hopeworth PT?
• Expertise in Lymphedema and Lipedema. I have been seeing patients with lymphatic disorders for over 12 years and have learned a thing or two along the way beyond what certification teaches you. In the most recent years, I have taken an interest in lipedema thanks to some of my patients pushing me beyond my comfort zone and demanding that I learn more to help them. Lymphatic disorders (especially those related to cancer or lipedema) are tough financially, emotionally and physically. I try to ease that burden as much as I can by knowing what works, what doesn’t and how to be flexible to accomodate the needs of every individual patient since no two people are alike.
• One-on-one therapy for 45 minute sessions. This is now a rare occurrence in traditional clinics where appointments are booked for 30-minutes and valuable minutes are lost in transitioning between patients. By concentrating on your therapy for a full 45 minutes to one hour, our therapist is able to accomplish more in a fewer number of visits. Not only does this save you money, but also helps you attain your wellness goals much faster.
• Highly personalized service. You will not be bounced around from therapist to therapist. You will always have the same therapist with all of her attention on you for the entire session.
