Seattle Post-Cesarean Chiropractic Rehabilitation

Dr. Ally is one of those rare extraverted Seattleites. She loves to help others move better and feel better while holding a compassionate, motivating space. As with other providers at Flourish, Dr. Ally believes that any progress in health, no matter how small, is a step forward and should be celebrated. Some days that will be earning a PR at the gym. Other days that will be simply showing up for your appointment. Your best will change from day to day, and it is enough.

Dr. Ally uses chiropractic adjusting, muscle scraping (gua sha), pin and stretch, and therapeutic exercises, while also addressing behavioral modifications, nutrition, and lifestyle factors all for optimal wellness. She is primarily a diversified manual adjuster, and also implements Thompson Drops and instrument-assisted adjustments. Some of her patients prefer instrument-only and that is welcomed by her.

She takes a movement and biomechanics based approach to chiropractic to promote function and wellbeing. As an avid runner, Dr. Ally loves helping people with hip, knee and shoulder injuries. She is amazed at how many people who hike or run have neck and shoulders tension! Aside from sports injuries or helping people continue doing what they love, she also has experience in pediatrics and prenatal, and really enjoys working with children, from 1 month to 17 years old. She loves supporting those who are expecting throughout their pregnancy, whether it be back pain, hip pain or overall wellness.

Dr. Ally returned to Seattle in 2020 to practice and joined Flourish in 2022. When Dr. Ally is outside of the office, she enjoys running, spending time with her family, and playing with her pup, Franklin.

Dr. Rachel is a doc originally from Canada who has a passion for self-care and functional movement. Her love for dance and weight-lifting is what led her to study exercise science and physical fitness. From there she decided to pursue a career in Chiropractic medicine so she could help others reach their fitness goals, prevent and rehabilitate injuries, improve function, and get them back to doing what they love. She understands that wellness is a journey and not a destination and lifelong self-care is of the utmost importance. What feeds her love for this field the most is seeing her patients get excited about their health journey, watching them take back control of their lives, and feel confident in their bodies’ abilities, whatever that looks like for them.

It’s important to Dr. Rachel that when you’re in her care you feel safe, respected, and cared for. She knows that seeing a chiropractor for the first time can be intimidating and good communication and a safe space are some of the ways she helps mitigate this. Dr. Rachel meets the patient where they are that day and delivers individualized care with a focus on restoring function, decreasing symptomatology, and optimizing quality of life.

Dr. Rachel studied Chiropractic at the University of Western States where she graduated with degrees in Human Biology and Chiropractic Medicine. She spent her undergraduate studying Kinesiology at the University of Alberta with a focus on exercise science and physical fitness.

Dr. Rachel uses diversified adjusting techniques for joint dysfunction in both the spine and extremities. She also utilizes soft tissue manipulative therapy techniques such as the pin and stretch technique, fascial scraping, and cupping therapy. Dr. Rachel’s treatment room is equipped with a flexion-distraction table which helps decompress the lumbar spine and alleviate pain, especially for those with disc injuries and/or lumbar nerve root compression. She also prescribes rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle modifications so you can stay out of pain and take your health into your own hands at home. Aside from everyday aches and pains, some common sports injuries she treats include plantar fasciitis, muscle strains, ankle sprains, and whiplash injuries, amongst others.
