Alison Palmer Physical Therapy

About

I Trained as a Physiotherapist in London, graduating in 1983. I then gained valuable experience and knowledge working as a Physiotherapist in England, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. I have been in private practice in Telluride CO since 1996.

 In 2003 I became a Certified Orthopaedic Manual Therapist through the North American Institute of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy.

 I then studied with the Institute of Physical Art and in 2014 became a Certified Functional Manual Therapist. I am very passionate about Functional Manual Therapy which is an integrated and holistic approach to physical therapy and I have been achieving excellent long term results with my patients.

 More recently I have been studying Visceral Manipulation and Neural Manipulation through the Barral Institute. This has greatly enhanced my practice and allowed for more in-depth treatment of the organs and the nervous system, to provide a multi systems approach to the body

My Skills

- The treatment of mechanical problems in the body which includes the treatment of the joints, fascia, muscular, neurovascular and visceral components. 

- The treatment of the neuromuscular components to include treatments of initiation, strength and endurance of specific muscle groups within a movement pattern 

- The treatment of motor control to train the patient to assume a balanced posture and perform efficient functional activities
