Services and Therapies
As a therapist working in outpatient rehab, Erin utilizes a broad range of modalities and therapeutic interventions with her human and canine patients. If asked which she turns to first and most repeatedly, she would quickly say "my hands... but not one modality works for every patient." Interventions are chosen based on the results of the Physical Assessment as well as the nature of the dog.
