Dorothy’s work is tailored to you, the concept of meeting you where you are. She generally works in a series of sessions and then, either on a maintenance or as needed schedule, all based on your needs. There is no required number of sessions. She generally recommends starting with three sessions to determine if the work is beneficial for you. This allows for an assessment and some treatment, with feedback in between, so that she can adapt as necessary, and you get a sense of how the changes improve your life.

The first session will entail a discussion of your health history and goals for your work together. This will be followed by a movement and mobility assessment. Then your treatment will begin. You may get off the table a few times during the session to reassess and see the global effects from each intervention. At each subsequent session, the general flow will be the same. You will tell Dorothy what you have noticed since the last session and anything that has your attention that day. She will do some assessments and begin treatment.

Treatment can consist of many things. Dorothy may use a variety of techniques to treat restrictions anywhere in the body. This can include joints, fascia, skin, bone (yes, there can be restrictions within a bone!), nerves and arteries (they are covered in fascia and need to slide and glide), viscera (organs), ligaments, tendons and membranes. Treatment can also include movement education to help you initiate movement in a different way and create a shift in your interoception (how you sense yourself from the inside).
