Episode 23: Judy Hensley

Dr Judy Hensley has a 40 plus year career in a specialized form of physical therapy. Judy loves to integrate information and techniques, resulting in her own creative and personal style, using a manual therapy, hands on approach that is unique to each client. Over the last several years she has included visceral work which further allows her to treat the entire body, rather than a specific part. It is amazing to see how organ mobility can affect fascial mobility and be a factor in nerve pain, musculoskeletal dysfunctions and poor movement patterns. Judy is a gifted integrative physical therapist.
