Lisa has been a licensed Occupational Therapist since 1982 and a certified hand therapist since 1991. While on staff at a Rehabilitation Center in Chicago, she injured her back, and was then a patient for 9 months. Her first 6 months of traditional therapy left her with constant back spasms and sciatica.

It was in her quest while searching for the most effective therapy for herself that she became familiar with John Barnes Myofacial Release. This treatment was so effective that she vowed to learn the techniques to help others in pain. Since then, Lisa has taken all of John Barnes Myofascial Release classes, and is now a senior instructor for the Myofascial Release Treatment Centers and Seminars. She has taken and practiced John Upledger’s cranial sacral therapy and Reiki and is on staff at Lake Forest Hospital Center for Rehabilitation.

In November, 2006, Lisa completed The Upledger "Visceral Manipulation" course in Chicago. This hands-on form of releasing internal organ restrictions will be of great benefit to patients and a welcome addition to the roster of therapies offered here. To date she has taken the first 3 levels of Visceral Manipulation; and completed the first level in Upledgers Advanced Dialoging HCT 1.

As of June 1, 2006, Lisa is now a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner. This can be a very effective complement to the MFR treatments, and a welcome addition to the practice.

All of Ganfield Therapeutics staff are highly trained in the MFR techniques. In conjunction with traditional therapy, she feels MFR is the missing link to successful outcomes. Lisa treats clients 3 days a week.
