Cathy Covell
Motion For Life - Owner
Motion For Life is a clinic that I am blessed to be called the owner of, but I really feel I am actually a part of a wonderful family that makes this clinic special. My educational background is as a Physical Therapist and a Massage Therapist, but my life history is one that involves my own journey recovering from chronic pain and returning not only to an active lifestyle, but a journey that has lead to healing of the mind, body and spirit.
I have been very fortunate to have a very diverse history in Physical Therapy. I worked as a traveling physical therapist for 3 years in which I worked in Out-patient, in-patient, full rehab, trauma and ER settings along with neurological settings and in sports settings. Along with this, I have spent years specializing in the John Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release. Including working at John's Pennsylvania clinic for over 2 1/2 years.
While at the Pennsylvania Center I was able to work along John and other highly skilled Myofascial Release therapists. We treated people from around the world with a multitude of diagnoses. My experience has lead me to write books: The Patient's Guide and The Therapist Guide to Understanding The John F. Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release- books that give simple answers to the most frequently asked questions about Myofascial Release.
Along with taking learning the healing aspects of Myofascial Release, I have also taken a multitude of workshops on healing and growth including ones with Caroline Myss and several workshops focused on Equine facilitated therapy- from both Epona and EGALA instructors. All that I learned over the years led me to write the book -Feeling Your Way Through- which gives insights on healing.
I started Motion For Life in 2007 and am thrilled to see how it all aspects of the therapy provided has evolved over the years.

OFFICE GREETERS
|
Shadow and Dash are the official office greeters for Motion For Life
Shadow (the dark border collie/blue heeler) likes to greet each person and thinks everyone is his friend. He does have a problem controlling his licker though.... Dash (the heeler/corgi mix) Loves attention, and if you stop petting him may try and get you to start again by putting his head in your hand! |
