What We Offer
Every service at Stewart Health is built around one question: what’s actually driving this? Whether you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with pain that keeps coming back, or trying to stay competitive in your sport — the work starts with a thorough assessment, not a guess.
NKT Assessment + Therapeutic Bodywork
Clinical neuromuscular work that gets to the root cause.
NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) is a sophisticated assessment system that identifies the dysfunctional movement patterns your nervous system has stored in response to injury, surgery, or repetitive stress. These patterns are the reason your pain keeps coming back — even after treatment.
As an NKT Level 3 Practitioner — the highest certification level — Tish combines precise neuromuscular assessment with hands-on bodywork to release the compensating tissues and re-educate the movement patterns driving your symptoms. Sessions include movement homework so your nervous system retains the change between visits.
This approach is appropriate for: chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, postural dysfunction, and movement limitations that haven’t responded to other treatment.
Cold Laser Therapy (3LT®)
Accelerate healing at the cellular level.
FDA-cleared 3LT® low-level laser therapy delivers targeted light energy directly to damaged tissue — stimulating ATP production, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the body’s natural repair process. Used in post-surgical recovery, chronic pain management, nerve damage, and soft tissue injuries.
Cold laser is not heat-based and is non-invasive. Most clients notice reduced pain and improved range of motion within their first few sessions. It is frequently paired with NKT assessment and bodywork to address both the structural and neurological components of an injury.
Clinical Bodywork for Athletes
Treat the injury. Prevent the next one.
Athletes get hurt. The problem isn’t the injury — it’s the compensation pattern the body creates to protect it. Left unaddressed, that pattern becomes the setup for the next injury.
Clinical bodywork for athletes uses NKT assessment to identify exactly which muscles have been recruited to compensate for an injury, then systematically restores proper movement patterns through hands-on treatment and corrective exercise. The goal is not just recovery — it is building a body that moves the way it’s designed to move under load.
Available for youth athletes, recreational athletes, and competitive athletes at any level.

Erchonia Low Level Laser Therapy
FDA Approved Medical Technology.
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been used worldwide for over 40 years to relieve pain, remove scars, heal wounds, regenerate nerves and solve addictions. On January 17th, 2002, the first U.S. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) company, Erchonia, the laser you’re being treated with, received FDA clearance through clinical trial. The study took 100 patients complaining of Neck and Shoulder pain. Half were treated with a useless red light (placebo group), similar to that on a computer mouse or grocery check-out, and the other half received LLLT. The treatment group beat the placebo group by 66%! That’s 66% faster relief and more complete relief, a remarkable margin. Such a study is known as “double blind” research, and is the gold standard for measuring the validity of a therapy. Similar studies have been passed by the FDA for Carpal Tunnel, Wounds and Scar Tissue. There are over 2000 published studies on LLLT reporting zero negative side effects. Visit www.Erchonia.com for in-depth research.
What can I expect from this therapy?
In a nutshell, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) causes tissues to heal faster – muscle, skin and nerve – 66% faster according to the above FDA study.
Specifically, LLLT works at the cell level. Human cells produce a chemical known as ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) to run the body and heal tissue. All of our body’s activities result from the use of ATP, it’s like gasoline to a car. LLLT stimulates a micro-structure within the cells called the mitochondria (nicknamed the “powerhouse” because it produces ATP) to produce slightly higher amounts of ATP. Thus with more ATP at the cell level, tissues heal faster, and therefore relief comes quicker.
Conditions and Symptoms…As is true of many alternative therapies, you may receive alternative benefits to being treated, in addition to what you wanted fixed in the first place. This is because the ATP being produced is “systemic”, meaning although we’re focusing the laser on a particular area; the ATP is ultimately being sent throughout your entire body. The list of symptoms responding to LLLT is growing, and more valid research is being performed on a daily basis.
Number of Treatments needed...In general 4-12 treatments (15min) are necessary to begin the healing process of tissue, although in some cases relief can begin immediately. Maximum treatment would be 1x per day per area, minimum would be 1x per week to still see results. Multiple areas of complaint may be treated. This treatment cycle may need to be repeated, and eventually spread out.
Your pain has a pattern. Let’s find it.
Chronic pain, recurring injuries, and limited movement almost always come from the same place: your nervous system has learned a compensation pattern that isn’t resolving on its own.
NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) is a clinically validated assessment system that identifies exactly which muscles are underperforming and which are overcompensating. Once the pattern is mapped, the compensations are released and the correct muscles are reactivated — creating lasting neurological change, not temporary relief.
This is not massage. It is not stretching. It is precision work at the level of the motor control system — and it is why people who have tried everything else finally get better.
