And practiced in outpatient clinics for 6 years in Maryland and DC.

During her years as a dancer and volleyball player, Dr. Chen suffered from many different sports injuries. She began to explore the appropriate treatment for herself, as well as the endless possibilities of our bodies. Throughout her practices, she learned many different aspects of physical therapy, including strain counterstrain, dry needling, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, GYROTONIC® and Pilates.

When not working, she likes spending time with family. She practices Pilates herself and that lead to her interest in Pilates based rehabilitation.
