Along with the help of her patients, she thoroughly assesses all the possible factors affecting pain chronicity, which includes, but not limited to, physical activities, sleep patterns, diet, water intake and stress management. This helps her address all the possible causes of chronic pain and aids in proper treatment and referral to appropriate medical professionals.

She performs selective functional movement assessment for athletes, runners, and active individuals to prevent and treat movement dysfunctions. This is done by giving corrective exercises and providing a full rehabilitation program including home exercises and injury education.
