We are pleased to introduce our newest Apple Therapy Services location in Amherst/Milford. We are accepting new patients for physical, occupational and hand therapy. We are excited to announce that our director, Karin Biskovich, is now trained in the Graston Technique®, a new way to treat soft tissue dysfunction. The Graston Technique uses stainless steel instruments to detect “scar tissue” or adhesions in muscles, tendons, or ligaments that can cause restriction or pain. These instruments are used to release the fibrous tissue therefore re-aligning the fibers. The Graston Technique is combined with stretching and strengthening to restore the strength and flexibility of healthy tissue.
Education: Master's of Physical Therapy, University of Washington, 2002, Bachelor's of Science Biology, Cornell University, 1996
Experience: Karin started with Apple in 2003 after moving back to the area from Seattle. Since then she has worked with an array of orthopedic conditions including post-surgical, sports injuries, and overuse injuries. She uses her Pilates certification with the rehabilitation of low back and neck pain clients. Her goal is to return her patients to their prior level of function whether it is recreational, competitive, or daily life activity. Outside of Apple, Karin enjoys golfing, competing in triathlons, and being active with her family. She is a member of the Orthopedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association.
