Treatment Philosophy
Carman believes in an integrated approach to getting a person back to performing at their best. This involves looking at the person as a whole in an accurate, detailed physical assessment, followed by education, manual therapy or manipulation, IMS needling, muscle tissue release, and a thorough corrective exercise program. Over the years, he has seen the significant impact physiotherapy can have in bringing someone back to living abundantly well.
