Symptom Recovery has a predictable pattern of progression. As a Certified Neuro-Developmental Treatment (www.NDTA.org) Physical Therapist, Dr. Susan Leger takes a developmental approach to exercise progression that assesses your current Stage of Symptom Recovery, and focuses the exercise parameters appropriate for that particular Stage and Phase and to each successive Stage and Phase as recovery continues. The emphasis is to build on the individual’s particular strengths and develop the exact customized program to move that individual to the next Stage, then to the next Phase of Symptom Recovery. The Stages and Phases of Symptom Recovery, as well as the Stage and Phase Exercise Progressions, were first developed by Dr. Susan Leger in the late 1990’s, and have continued to evolve on a daily basis. This progression has greatly expanded with the addition of Linda Holmes, BScPT, MS, IMTC, Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner (www.FeldenkraisGuild.com) to the First Step Physical Therapy team in 2010.
