Meet Geralyn M. Petrilyak, PT, MS
Показать описание
I began my career as a licensed Physical Therapist in 1995. Throughout my 17 years of practice, I have come to learn the importance of the mind-body connection and how vital the whole body approach is to the healing process.
My own experiences in healing, both personal and professional, have led me to becoming a John F. Barnes Myofascial Release (JFB MFR) Therapist. This approach addresses the fascial system of the body, which is a 3-dimensional connective tissue that runs throughout the body. This tissue adheres to all structures, including muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs etc. Often times, this leads to restrictions in the body and can create the underlying cause of pain and illness. JFB MFR is a hands on manual therapy approach that releases these restrictions. This helps to restore the tissue to its normal state and allows the body to heal itself.
Several years ago, my own issues of pain, hormonal imbalance and chronic fatigue led me to finding the JFB MFR Approach. I had been to many traditional PTs for the pain with no results. After receiving MFR treament, I knew immediately that this approach was different for me. It introduced the difference between temporary relief vs. true healing. It reminded me of many of my patients, who like myself, might feel better, but wouldn't stay better. I began to understand the importance, of NOT just treating the symptoms, but actually addressing the root cause of those symptoms.
Since then, I have chosen to specialize in the JFB MFR approach, as I feel it is the missing link to most traditional PT treatment. I am truly confident that this JFB MFR will not only help facilitate someone through the healing process, but also empower them to learn how to help themselves throughout their healing journey. I feel very strongly that this approach is a process and requires patience on the part of both the patient and therapist. It is not a "quick fix", but it will make the difference in living life pain free and improving the quality of one's life. JFB MFR can be helpful in any of the following issues, but not limited to: pain, immobility, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, women's health issues, digestive disorders etc.
I welcome the opportunity to help you along your healing journey so that you can live a pain free and joyful life....one that you truly deserve.
