Heather LaHaie, PT, DPT, CIMT

"I became a physical therapist because I have always been fascinated by the human body, and it is extremely rewarding to help people improve their day to day function and overall quality of life. Every person is different, so I enjoy the challenge of finding the source of their symptoms and determining an individualized program for their care."

Heather holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and earned a doctoral degree of physical therapy from Boston University.

Her approach to treatment encompasses a variety of techniques in manual therapy such as joint mobilization, myofascial release and soft tissue mobilization, as well as therapeutic exercise and movement retraining with a focus on patient education.

She has furthered her education after gaining her doctoral degree by becoming a Certified Integrated Manual Therapist (CIMT), which signifies a more advanced approach to evaluating and interpreting symptoms as well as proficiency in providing a variety of treatments consisting of hands-on intervention. She also is an instructor for continuing education seminars across the nation, and teaches a manual physical therapy course on Myofascial Release.

? Heather enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, watching football, cooking and baking, running, working out, and all outdoor activities, especially hiking and backpacking.
