A long term injury that used to require PT twice weekly, under her guidance, only requires maintenance one every 2-3 weeks, or as a heavy schedule demands.
After working with DL, I found that many of the ailments that plague a dancer throughout the season– random foot pain/knee pain, was both treated and troubleshot by her– for example I would wear pointe shoes for her to assess positioning and amount and types of stress on the joint.
She is particularly adept at creative solutions, from modifying Pilates exercises to theories on where an injury, unexpectedly, might come from.

My daughter was able to start jumping and training at her full potential the day after the second treatment!
DL started working with my girls remotely on Zoom, teaching them how to do the release technique in order to realign their feet and restore their balance and function.
After our last online visit, my other daughter won her first competition!

My two daughters are competitive figure skaters and about three months ago their feet started to have bunion like bumps. My doctor connected us with DL. Because we live in different states, DL started working with my girls remotely on Zoom, teaching them how to do the release technique in order to realign their feet and restore their balance and function. DL is really thorough in assessing the problems and explaining the causes and solutions. She is very knowledgeable and patient with her patients. What I love is that she was able to teach my girls how to take care of their bodies and teach me how to support them as we continue on with their training. Also, she makes herself available all the time to answer questions, follow up and give recommendations as new issues emerge.
It is amazing what DL can do remotely over Zoom, but what is even more amazing is what she can do in person!
We were lucky to meet DL in person this weekend. The timing couldn’t have been better as unfortunately, my older daughter had a serious ankle injury just few days before DL’s visit. In just two treatment sessions DL was able to restore the complete function, range of motion and alignment of my daughter’s ankle and foot. My daughter was able to start jumping and training at her full potential the day after the second treatment!
