Heart and Soul Physical Therapy ​ Keri Dahlstrom, PT, CST
I have been a physical therapist for over 25 years and have had the privilege of serving the Grass Valley and Nevada City community for the past 15 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 have 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, and balance challenges. My pediatric experience includes plagiocephaly, tongue-tie, torticollis, traumatic birth, sensory processing disorder, ADD/ADHD, autism,and reflex integration therapy. I also support those navigating chronic pain, cancer, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, and migraines. I work with clients of all ages, from newborns to older adults.

​
Over the years, I have gained an appreciation for additional therapies, and a respect for what they can bring to the healing environment. Consequently, I have actively pursued craniosacral therapy (CST), taking over 500 hours of classes from the Upledger Institute, becoming techniques certified. I am a certified neurodevelopmental practitioner, 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 distinctive background and condition. I never use a “cookbook” approach to treatments. I seek to meet each person as an individual by thoroughly evaluating his/her health history, their strengths and goals. Together we determine the best course of action for the two of us to work together as a team. My ultimate goal as a physical therapist is to work with individuals and their accompanying injuries in their journey to self discovery and recovery.

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