Welcome Alison Aiken, PT

We searched far and wide, sifted through resumes and interviewed many candidates.  Like many things here in Vermont, we learned that the best people are here in our own backyard.

I am pleased to welcome Alison Aiken PT as the newest addition to the evolution family.  I first met Alison in 2001 when we both worked at Fletcher Allen Health Care.  Alison was a graduate of the class of 1998 UVM Physical Therapy program.  We both shared a passion for yoga and found ourselves integrating yoga into our client’s treatment programs.

In 2005 Alison completed a yoga teacher training program with the Yoga Institute. Soon after, Alison and I collaborated to put together a yoga program for people with back pain at the Spine Institute of New England.  She has been teaching this program since 2006.  Alison continues to combine her knowledge of yoga and physical therapy into an integrated, holistic health care model.

Alison is a distance runner and rock climber who understands the importance of fitness, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, and she has given lectures on the importance of exercise for patients with cardiac disease and Diabetes.

Alison will begin accepting new physical therapy clients April 8th and will be teaching the next session of Yoga For a Healthy Back starting April 20th.  Please join me in welcoming Alison to the evolution community.
