Ask The Expert

For twenty years I have been gathering stories... stories of healing, stories of suffering and untold stories of inspiration. To the countless patients who have entrusted me through their injuries and illnesses, traumas and surgeries, arthritis and cancers, pain and suffering, I am indebted. From these stories a wealth of experience has been built. From this I draw, again and again, to guide, heal and inspire those yet to come.

Karen Chrappa - the expert Listening and witnessing over the decades has developed an intuitive knowledge. It is this knowledge I share with you by offering my services... now online. If you are suffering with any physical therapy related issue, be it injury, joint pain, spinal pain, illness, arthritis, muscle strains or sprains... if you are wondering where to go for help, what to do next, is there anything that can help... I am here.

In twenty years of working with the body, licensed as a Physical Therapist, I know there are no easy answers. We are complex composites of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Pain and suffering requires our attention. In the language of the body, pain forces us to listen.

Yet somewhere within every illness, every pain, every injury, lies a gift. It is not often apparent. When we are able to embrace whatever injury or illness has come our way, we hold the potential for true healing and transformation.

If this makes sense to you... read on.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

This online service I offer is free of charge. This does not take the place of proper medical attention. I do not offer any information as a "cure". After listening to your problem I may need more information. Once I have a sense of what is going on I may offer simple restorative postures, meditation or breathing exercises, self massage techniques or the power of intention.

If the advice of a doctor seems necessary I will tell you so. Perhaps other approaches may offer benefit and the best next step might be acupuncture, body work, personal training, meditation or yoga classes depending on your situation and lifestyle.

If I feel your problem is beyond the scope of my knowledge I will tell you so. Submit your question here. In most cases you will receive a response within 48 hours.
