Pro-Health Rehab and Sports Medicine: Nurses

SARAH A. KILEY, DC, CCSP, QME, has a unique approach to Chiropractic care that specializes in soft tissue therapy and places less emphasis on traditional chiropractic manipulation. Dr. Kiley has been in private practice since graduating from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1997. Her background in Sports Medicine includes being a Doctor for the Pro Beach Volleyball Tour for 6 years, the Gravity Games and the Pro-Surf Tour. Dr. Kiley's well-rounded credentials include being a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner, a Qualified Medical Examiner (a specialist in Worker's Compensation), and a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist. She also worked in the pain management field for four years at a leading chronic pain facility in the South Bay. During this time she has helped many patients reduce their pain and control their symptoms.

ImageSince 2005, she has been involved with Triathlons not only professionally but also personally as a competitor.  She is the "in house" Sports Chiropractor for Triathlon LAB's Training Camp.

Dr. Kiley's specialty called soft tissue therapy (myofascial release) is a form of manual muscle therapy that can help alleviate symptoms. This form of treatment addresses all of the muscles and connective tissues surrounding the injured area. This helps to reduce the pressure on the injured joints and to decrease pain. Almost every injury has a muscular component that could respond to this very unique form of therapy.

"I specialize in acute and chronic conditions, sports injuries, work related injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation. I am unlike most Chiropractors in the fact that I don't routinely do spinal manipulation on all my patients. I have found that the soft tissue aspect of every injury is very important and that it responds very well to my type of treatment."

GENEVIEVE FERLAND, PT, CSTS, is known for having a very unique and effective approach to Physical Therapy that focuses on manual therapy and specializes in soft tissue mobilization and muscle re-education. Born in Montreal, Canada, she graduated from McGill University, where she was also a published researcher with the University's Biomechanics Laboratory. Ms. Ferland has now been working for 6 years in the United States. Prior to her relocation to California, Ms. Ferland was Director of Rehabilitation Services and head Physical Therapist for a hospital in Louisiana. She has completed extensive professional continuing education courses in several manual therapy techniques. She is a Certified Strength Training Specialist, a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist and a Clinical Instructor for Universities in the United States and Canada.

"It is important to not only treat the acute symptoms but also to address the cause of the injury in order to prevent re-occurrence. We must first restore the normal functioning of the injured joints and muscles with manual soft tissue and joint therapy, followed by muscle and postural re-education. Then follows strengthening exercises. If the exercises are done earlier in the rehabilitation process, the patient risks reinforcing bad habits which can prolong or worsen the injury. This is where we feel we differ from most Physical Therapy clinics by strictly following these steps rather then having all therapy sessions comprised of exercises or machines."

Ms. FERLAND'S and Mrs. ALEKSICH'S combined years of experience as well as diversified skills and educational backgrounds allow them to efficiently treat a wide array of acute and chronic conditions, from post-operative rehabilitation, sports injuries, and degenerative conditions, to work injuries, back and neck pain or chronic pain syndromes."
