With a background in yoga and dance, Naomi has a keen interest in helping others to learn new ways of moving, to develop core muscle strength and to change painful movement patterns. She works directly with each patient, using manual techniques to restore normal muscle tone and joint mobility, and designs specific exercise programs to address muscular imbalances, neurological deficits and pain.
