Dr. Lock is passionate about  self-determination and empowering patients to first reach their specific goals, and then to independently sustain them. Whether it is physical strengthening, pain reduction, symptoms resolution, pre/post-operative rehabilitation, lifestyle or whole health goals,  she works closely with her patients to develop a program for immediate treatment, as well as a long-term plan that patients can independently maintain.
