Donna has over 30 years of PT experience. She graduated from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 1993 and moved to Minnesota shortly after. Being licensed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, Donna has worked in various settings, including acute care, long term rehab facilities, TCU (transitional care), outpatient, home health, and the school setting with patients with a variety of diagnosis and limitations.
Through her own experience/testimony as a patient receiving fascial counter strain (avoiding surgery),and love for manual therapy (John Barnes MFR, muscle energy techniques, FCS) she embarked on learning this holistic/systemic approach to healing. She is motivated to help her patients by treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms using a combination of treatment modalities to increase quality of life, maximizing their functional capacity. Donna enjoys working with a multitude of diagnoses to include: neurological conditions, genetic syndromes, orthopedic dysfunctions, women’s health, and chronic pain.
When not in the clinic, Donna most enjoys spending time with her family of 4 children (ages 20 to 29, and her new grandbaby), visiting home (New Mexico/Colorado) to see extended family, camping, hiking, playing basketball, going for walks and cooking.
