How Does Stiles Manual Therapy Work? From the time you were born…even before…your
body has experienced physical trauma of varying degrees, emotional
stress, poor postural positions, poor body mechanics when performing
physical labor, etc… These compensations will decompress the primary
site of restriction or injury in attempt to decrease or eliminate
pain. Over time your body will accumulate layers and layers of restriction
(tightness) like a large onion. Through Stiles Manual Therapy, the body is assessed to locate the “area of greatest restriction” and treated via a wide variety of techniques in order to remove the problem areas, allowing the brain to once again take over and create a state of balance. Consider this comparison of our body to a combination lock: Once the body is restricted or locked down, it is necessary to deliver the correct treatment in the correct order or sequence to “unlock” it. Each treatment you receive will unlock your body for the day allowing more freedom in mobility and decreased pain. Questions about how to get started managing your health and wellness?

About our Physical
Therapy Provider Audra is originally from Oklahoma and moved to Crested Butte, CO in 2007 . Healing Hands Physical Therapy, PLLC was founded in 2006 and is currently located in Gunnison, CO. Audra has 13 years experience as a physical therapist, graduating from the University of Oklahoma in 1998 with a specialty in Spinal Dysfunction. She has worked in a variety of clinical settings to include outpatient rehabilitation, treating a multitude of diagnoses such as but not limited to: chronic pain of the spine and extremities, chronic stress/fatigue related problems, myofascial pain (fibromyalgia, etc…), craniosacral dysfunction to include headaches, post surgical joint pain, and unexplained onset of pain and/or physical limitation. She has been trained over the past 7 years by Dr. Edward Stiles, DO and Micha Sale, PT in manual therapy whose treatment approach is based on osteopathic principles and focuses on removing restriction and tightness from the body in order for the nervous system to, in turn, restore optimal joint mechanics, reduce joint compression, and return the person to pain free function. In other words, the body is placed in a position to heal itself! She has also received training in energy medicine treatment, specifically the Tara Approach developed by Dr. Stephanie Mines, Ph.d of Boulder, CO. Since the body is comprised of the body, mind, and spirit, Audra integrates her training to deliver a customized and sequenced treatment based on each patient’s unique presentation of physical, emotional, and/or spiritual restrictions. She is the only “Stiles trained” therapist in the state of Colorado, and her passion is to truly see the lives of her patients change through attunement in bodywork. Her motto: “This is Your Time for Healing…” |
