Evaluation-Strategy Consultation

When you are not getting results, you are not addressing the root cause of your problem and wasting precious time, energy and money potentially doing the wrong thing.

Know that this is not your fault.

Most individuals are not trained to understand or make informed decisions about foot and ankle pathology.

And, what I learned from teaching foot professionals world-wide is that when it comes to formal education, Physios and Athletic Trainers lack focused training on the foot, and MD's, Podiatrists and Pedorthists are not taught powerful therapeutic techniques like taping, manual therapy, and functional exercise. 

I believe this is why many people suffer with and may undergo potentially unnecessary procedures. 

Please know if you are confused about your problem, unhappy about your options, or dissatisfied with your results, you are not alone, you are not flawed, and most of all, you are not a hopeless cause.

You are simply not doing the right thing for your particular problem.

What I know for sure is that your answer is out there, it is just a matter of finding it. 

So, if you are unsure where to turn, your surgery failed, you have not recovered to 100%, or “nothing is working for you,” and you are ready to correct the root cause of your problem in an integrated functional way.

Then let’s figure it out, together.

HI, I'M DL WALKER

Educator, Healer, and Diagnostic Detective.

My goal is 100% recovery and guiding you to achieve your bright, beautiful future.

Missing a diagnosis, medical complications, and errors are not uncommon. It is estimated that there are over 5 million cases reported yearly in the US alone. 

I have witnessed this as a professional with my patients and I have experienced it personally in my own life. 

I know what it is like to lose your quality of life and to be dismissed by your doctor. 

I also know the frustration of trying to get better when nothing seems to be working.  

What I know for sure is that in order to achieve a 100% recovery, you need to reveal it to heal it.

 Using my 30 years of traditional and complementary health care training, I evaluate your entire situation beyond the area of dysfunction.

I then advise you where to go, who to see, what to ask and how you can manage your symptoms so that you can figure out  the root cause of your struggles and receive the best care possible. 

As an educator of the foot and ankle, I can easily work with your local health care providers, teaching them my method remotely and guiding them through your rehabilitation.  So that you can stop suffering  and get your life back as quickly as possible.   

I have achieved great success, helping patients remotely  as well as using my world-wide connections to get people the best care for them  locally. 

I enjoy challenging clients who are fed up and frustrated. Where nothing has helped and they are ready to try something new.

As well as people who are looking for the very best care for themselves and their families, now and in the future.
