Sandra Hilton, MS PT, CMT

Sandra graduated from Pacific University, Oregon in 1988 with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. As an Army spouse, she has pursued her professional skills in Washington State, Georgia, Hawaii, Oregon, Louisiana, Germany, Kansas and Michigan. This depth of experience has added to the integrated therapy approach Sandra uses with her patients. She has extensive training in manual therapy techniques from a variety of national and international instructors. She was initially trained in Neurological Rehabilitation and brings this strong understanding of the neuromuscular pathways to orthopedics to create a comprehensive treatment philosophy, which addresses the body as a whole and uses the most relevant techniques for each patient.

Sandra established Healing In Motion, pllc in August of 2005 to fill a need in the community for highly skilled individual attention with all treatment being conducted by the therapist. Sessions are always private, never double booked, and can be one hour or longer in length, as determined by the patient and therapist. Sandra specializes in chronic pain, neurological dysfunction, TMJ, spinal and extremity dysfunction and Women's Health intervention including sexual dysfunction, pelvic pain and internal pelvic techniques. She is committed to continuing education for herself, and utilizing the best practice techniques available for the benefit of her patients. All patients and Wellness clients have 'homework' in the form of exercises specific to their needs, and self-care techniques to promote independence.

Sandra has taught community education courses for Osteoporosis, Diabetes, Cardiac Health, Pelvic Floor Conditioning, Pregnancy and Exercise, Balance and Fall Prevention, and Infant Massage. She is a course reviewer for Desert Southwest Fitness and a Certified Massage Therapist and uses these certifications to provide highly skilled intervention under her Wellness Program to promote quality of life for all ages.

Lisa Wiley, OT

Lisa graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 2001 with a Bachelors of Science. Since that time she has worked in many different settings, accumulating knowledge of not only treatment techniques but also how rehabilitation relates to the person. She became a Certified Hand Therapist in 2008 following the completion of over 5,000 hours of documented treatment of the upper extremity and passing the Hand Therapy Certification Commission exam.

She also has a background in lymphedema. Primarily treating individuals following medical intervention for breast cancer. She has also treated lymphedema for the lower extremity. Recently, she started on her journey using John F. Barnes PT Myofascial release in conjunction with her other treatment techniques. Her background in orthopedic, neurological disorders, lymphedema and myofascial release treatment has given her a “tool box” of powerful and effective tools.

Recently she has put together a DVD for Tennis Elbow. She wanted to give those suffering with this condition a review of modifications to daily tasks in regards the tennis elbow and a home exercise program. It is released as “Bare Bones Therapy, Treatment for Elbow Pain,” with the premise that people can take care of themselves and are responsible for their recovery. Lisa believes that having a home exercise program and modifications to daily activities that aggravate symptoms are key to recovery. Her skills as an occupational therapist can return people to activities that “occupy” their time.
