Treatment Philosophy and Goals
As a competitive athlete, Ann Schofield recognizes the mental and physical challenges that an injured athlete faces. Supporting an athlete in fulfilling their goals by expediting their return to training or competition is her number one priority.

Equally important to Ann is that the patient leaves with a greater understanding of their individual muscle imbalances and weaknesses. By fully evaluating an athlete's dynamic stability and unique movement patterns, she is able to implement a thorough and specific corrective program. Ann strongly encourages her patients to have a clear working knowledge of their injury; her treatments include education on relevant anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. Ann believes that when a patient takes an active role in their recovery, results are greatly improved.

Ultimately, Ann believes that by working on an individual's mechanics and stability with movement, that efficiency will be maximized. In turn, performance is enhanced, while injuries are minimized due to the removal of unwanted dysfunctional movement patterns. She enjoys working with motivated individuals at all levels of activity.
