Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Ultrasound
Over the course of my life, I’ve had a LOT of PT for various things at a large number of different clinics. My experiences with PT had been dismal. In every case, the physical therapist (or their assistant) assigned me exercises, then spent a small time observing me do them at each visit while they joked and talked w/co-workers, tossed towels at each other and sat in front of their computer documenting my ‘progress’ during most of my visit. I’m disciplined about doing my exercises and can apply heat/cold packs at home, so these appointments felt like a BIG waste of time and money. Occasionally, I’d receive a few minutes of light massage or ultrasound, but rarely. When the surgeon mentioned PT, I shared my previous experiences w/him. When he looked me right in the eye and told me Linda Craig has made a big difference for a lot of his patients, I decided to try Pathways PT. I figured I could always stop going if it was more of the same.

Orthopedics
Sciatica
Whiplash
Because of Linda’s work on my neck, mouth and jaw muscles, I’ve been able to stop seeing my chiropractor and massage therapist, which saves me a lot of time, money and weren’t working anyway. I’m vigilant about doing my exercises, and guess what? I no longer have sensitive teeth. The ‘farfetched’ suspicion of my dentist and the surgeon were spot on. I have chosen to continue my therapy w/Linda because I have scar tissue in my neck from a severe whiplash years ago. Linda’s techniques keep me well oiled, tuned up and in good working order. My neck pain is reduced, my supporting muscles stronger, I have increased flexibility and range of motion.

Botox
I started with Pathways in 2006. I had been diagnosed with cervical dystonia and the recommended treatment for the head tremor symptom was Botox. A friend encouraged me to meet with Linda Craig. I have never had treatment other than through Pathways, some acupuncture, and atlas orthogonal treatment with a chiropractor. My treatment for the dystonia, as well as other physical challenges over the years, with Linda and Kathy has been life changing and I am forever grateful.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
It is especially effective in treating pain in the back, knee, ankle, shoulder, and wrist. It also works well in correcting repetitive movement imbalance plus trauma resulting from auto accidents, falls, and sports injuries.
Physical Therapy
Once you are well and released from Physical Therapy, here is a program that keeps you well. Our Wellness, Prevention, and Maintenance Program is designed just for that.
Frozen Shoulder
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Manual Therapy
These classes are more than just for a certificate and credit hours. The classes are taught by Linda, who has studied extensively in the fields of Physical Therapy, Osteopathy, Feldenkrais®, Craniosacral, Manual Therapy, and Bowen-based techniques. Linda combines this body of work with her personal and unique style of teaching. She has developed professional manuals to accompany the class work and uses lecture, Power Point, and hands-on personalized teaching to enhance your learning experience.
TMJ Dysfunction
Through gentle touch the practitioner releases this tension and allows the fluids in this system to flow freely. This is particularly effective in treating conditions such as orthopedic problems, brain and spinal cord injuries, headaches (including migraine), neck and back pain, scoliosis and TMJ dysfunction.

Achilles Tendonitis
3) 75 year old female with “stop you in your tracks” back spasms as well as Achilles tendonitis and shooting pain in her foot got no help from chiropractic. then one first gets up in the am to head to the bathroom in a hurry and is stopped by a severe and prolonged spasm, well, imagine the worst. The spasm was dealt with in one visit to Pathways. The other less serious issues improved with each visit but took a little longer, but not much. So, function hugely improved! Diapers avoided!
Bunions Problems
Last spring I brought my son to see Linda Craig on recommendation from his orthodontist. After seeing how she quickly identified weak muscles in his neck and core and seeing her manual techniques and expertise in head and neck issues, I got a referral to see her also. I have had neck and shoulder issues for many years as well as lower back pain. She has helped stop the tingling in my fingers that I was experiencing using a variety of methods and suggested that I would benefit from taking her RMR classes, which are based on Tom Bowen’s work, so I could treat myself as well as my son and other family members. The first class I took was on feet and jaw. I have a bunion on one foot and was delighted to see the swelling reduce and no longer painful. In fact, Ii was able to wear shoes that previously were too painful to wear. My mother also has bunions on her big toe on both feet and her second toe crossed over the big toe. She told me her toes had been that way for the last 30 years. I practiced using the technique I learned in Linda Craig’s RMR classes on my mother every day for two weeks. Her feet responded well and the toes uncrossed after a few treatments. She then had much more mobility in her feet and no pain!
