Becoming a physical therapist was my dream. I wanted to help people heal because I knew the journey well and felt like I could lead others to a better life. I also had a life long interest in exercise, an aptitude for science and a knack for learning anatomy. I believe an understanding of the patient perspective is a key component of the healing process. I have been a Physical Therapist since 2001. Tonic PT began in June of 2013 with the goal of creating a patient centered experience that was beyond the typical PT experience with the intention of changing peoples’ lives. I want the public to know that good physical therapy is a first option to healing and wellness. One way Tonic achieves this is by scheduling a max patient load of 5- 7 patients per day compared to 20-30 in most Pt. The treatment sessions are more focused, nuance and personal. In addition to a Masters Degree in PT I am a certified functional manual therapist though the Institute of Physical Art. Through this certification I have honed my manual therapy skills and learned to look at positional relationships among the segments of soft tissue, symmetries, proportions, observe breathing patterns, and functional movement patterns. I manually manipulate fascia, evaluate the ability of soft tissues to fold and lengthen and seek to return the body to an efficient state where each segment distributes weight, absorbs and transfers shock so that the body can return to graceful movement and optimal function. Together we enhance the postural response and movement patterns so patients can achieve a new posture and new function with ease.

Many people think flexibility is the goal—but flexibility without stability can place extra stress on your joints.

Whether you practice yoga, stretch regularly, or have hypermobile joints, developing stability is just as important for healthy movement.

🎧 Watch Tonya explain the relationship between flexibility, stability, stretching, yoga, and hypermobility, and why both play an important role in supporting your body.

Can you be too flexible?

It may sound surprising, but for many people, the answer is yes.

If you're living with hypermobility or chronic pain, stretching more isn't always the solution. Often, your body needs stability, strength, and control instead.

In my latest article for Thrive Global, I explore why being "too flexible" can contribute to pain—and what actually helps.

It's that time of year where we tend to trade sneakers for sandals—however those easy, breezy choices may need a few adjustments . As a physical therapist, I often see a spike in foot, knee, and back pain every summer due to unsupportive footwear.

Here’s how to keep your feet (and body) happy all season long:

👟 Arch Support Is a Must
Flat sandals stress your arches. Look for shoes with built-in support to help maintain proper alignment and reduce overuse injuries.

🧽 Cushioning Protects Your Joints
Hard, thin soles offer little shock absorption. Choose footwear with cushioned midsoles, especially if you're walking long distances.

🔒 Secure Fit Over Flip-Flops
Avoid backless shoes that make your toes work overtime. Instead, opt for sandals with ankle and midfoot straps for stability.

🦶 Flex Where Your Foot Does
Check the bend in the sole—it should flex at the toes, not in the middle of the arch. This supports natural movement.

🚫 Don’t Go Too Minimal Too Fast
Minimalist shoes can work for some, but transitioning too quickly can cause strain. Ease in gradually if you’re new to them.

✅ Better Footwear Brands to Consider:
Birkenstock – Great arch support & molded footbed
Vionic – Designed by podiatrists
Chaco – Excellent for active summer adventures
Teva & ECCO – Ideal for hiking or beach days
On Cloud & Hoka – Breathable sneakers with great shock absorption
