Ananda is different and here’s why …

Ananda Physical Therapy & Wellness uses an integrated, holistic, one-on-one approach to healing based on the principles of the John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release Approach®, Polestar® Pilates and Yoga.

I founded Ananda because, despite my clinical doctoral training and over a decade of clinical practice, I found that the traditional approach to physical therapy could not help many of my patients reach their goals.Ananda PT’s complementary, nontraditional approach permits us to treat the whole person—not just their symptoms.

The Ananda approach is particularly suitable for people who have long-standing pain, stiffness, troublesome injuries, postural problems, and who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Ananda also caters to clients who are frustrated with traditional medicine and who are willing to be an active participant in their health.

Our goal at Ananda is to create the best possible environment for health and healing to enable patients to reach their goals.
