The Art & Science of Movement
A highly specialized physical therapist with 30 years' experience, Kris Shevlin's unique approach to healing includes a combination of the science of physical therapy and the art and movement of pilates, in an one-on-one therapist and patient session. This combined strategy is intended to improve and maintain every patient to their highest level of functioning. Providing a unique physical therapy experience, Kris strives to empower her clients with knowledge of the human body and the tools to achieve optimal performance in daily life. Kris's motto, "Defy Gravity: Stand Tall, Walk Tall" is the essence of her healing philosophy. Her repertoire includes focus on Osteoporosis education and exercise, and post-rehabilitative breast cancer education and exercise. Kris saw a profound need for her specialized programs and began to individually tailor and implement her approach to her clients very specific needs. Her clinic teaches the critical thinking based on the underlying science of Pilates, and the concepts of applied anatomy, physiology and physical therapy for the optimal mind-body connection. Kris evaluates and treats patients with spinal pain, osteoporosis, functional limitations and post-rehabilitative breast cancer survivors, establishing a plan of treatment that restores patients to their highest level of function in activities of daily life, work and recreation. Kris' philosophy, "Defy Gravity: Stand Tall, Walk Tall!" stems from some of her core beliefs, and she often uses this phrase when working with patients to heal, strengthen and improve their posture, stability and flexibility. By applying her techniques to her philosophy, she strives to help her clients create a longer, leaner, healthier, balanced and fully functioning body by correlating the importance of posture and breathing to the entire mind-body experience.
