Heart and Soul Physical Therapy
Keri Dahlstrom, PT, CST
I have been a physical therapist for over 25 years, serving the Grass Valley and Nevada City community for the past 17 years. My experience spans a variety of clinical settings including: outpatient care, acute rehabilitation, and hospital-based practice. I currently work as a sole practitioner.
Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working with individuals experiencing a wide range of conditions including neurological diagnoses such as:
-
Traumatic brain injury
-
Concussion
-
Stroke
-
Vestibular dysfunction
-
Multiple sclerosis
-
Balance challenges
My pediatric experience includes:
-
Plagiocephaly
-
Tongue-tie
-
Torticollis
-
Traumatic birth
-
Sensory processing disorder
-
ADD/ADHD
-
Autism
-
Reflex integration therapy.

Over the years, I have developed an appreciation for additional therapies and a deep respect for the role they play in the healing process. I have actively pursued craniosacral therapy (CST) training, completing over 500 hours of instruction through the Upledger Institute and becoming Techniques Certified. I am also a certified neurodevelopmental practitioner and have experience in myofascial release, movement re-education, sensory processing disorder, concussion rehabilitation, and reflex integration.
I view each patient as a unique individual with a distinct background and condition, and I do not take a “cookbook” approach to treatment. Instead, I strive to meet each person where they are by thoroughly evaluating their health history, strengths, and goals. Together, we determine the best course of action and work collaboratively as a team. My ultimate goal as a physical therapist is to support individuals in their journey toward self-discovery and recovery while addressing their injuries with care and intention.

When I am not working, my husband and I try to take in as much of the foothill living as we can. We enjoy biking, paddle boarding, hiking , backpacking, and camping. We've always made health a priority for our family by eating right, staying active in the outdoors, practicing our spirituality, and spending quality time together with family.
