Wilde Heart PT
Wilde Heart PT opened in 2015 to provide a unique treatment and therapy setting focused on one on one, individual care. Wilde Heart PT combines the knowledge and skill set Heather Wilde is continually gathering as a Master in Physical Therapy, a Certified Craniosacral Therapist and continuing trainings in Osteopathic Manual Therapy, Barrel Visceral Work and Neural Manipulation. A session may include manual therapy, patient education, and home exercises. Discover the power of attuned listening hands.
With 20+ years experience as a physical therapist, Heather has learned that healing is a journey not an event- and pain is not always gain. Wilde Heart PT ensures an approach effective and comfortable for even the most sensitive conditions. Heather has also grown to honor the interconnection between all parts of a person: mind, body, and emotions.
What to Expect
The main focus of appointments is locating and releasing restrictions in the body that are causing dysfunction, compensation and/or abnormal patterns in the body. This may be in the neural system (CranioSacral work), Visceral System (organs), or Musculoskeletal System (joints, muscles and ligaments). The sessions are always hands on manual work with clothing is worn.
Most dysfunctional patterns have been in the body for a long time and so most problems can’t be resolved in 45min. But you can expect progress with each session. You the client are in control of how many visits you come to. If this is beneficial to you, and you want to continue to work on things, it is your choice to continue.
