Wendi Evans, PT
Cranial Therapist
Wendi Evans PT received her Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy in 1988 She began her career as a traditional physical therapist, specializing in orthopedics. For several years she served as clinical supervisor of the outpatient orthopedic therapy department at the National Hospital for Orthopedics and Rehabilitation. She then spent nine years with a group of rheumatologists, specializing in fibromyalgia, myofascial pain and degenerative diseases faced by aging adults, such as arthritis and osteoporosis. As her interest in manual therapy grew, she began training through the Upledger Institute, and participating in the CranioSacral therapy study group led by Ron Murray PT, ND and Martha Bramhall MSW, LICSW. This training brought her to the Asclepeion Center, where she has been practicing since 2003.
When asked about her treatment philosophy, Wendi stated, "I find it quite amazing that our bodies are capable of compensating for the countless physical (and often emotional) traumas that we experience throughout our lives. However, when we become overwhelmed by the daily stress in our lives, we begin to show signs of our imbalances. Theses imbalances are recognizable as increased tension in our tissues and alterations in our structural alignment, and we experience pain. Even more remarkable is the body’s potential to release these remnants of trauma with the aid of manual therapies like CranioSacral therapy, visceral manipulation, myofascial release, and mind-body work. I have learned that powerful changes can be made with these gentle techniques, which allows for a greater impact on the recovery process than when using traditional physical therapy treatment concepts alone." Wendi welcomes the opportunity to be a facilitator and partner with her patients, as they move through the healing process.
