Dr. Chen is certified in dry needling (CDN) and uses this technique as an adjunct to exercise therapy and neuromuscular re-education to treat muscular trigger points, chronic pain and to re-educate dysfunctional soft tissues. Clinical use of dry needling is a super effective neuromuscular re-education tool that quickly gives the musculoskeletal system a ‘reset’. She frequently employs this dry needling technique as an adjunct to traditional exercise therapy to treat a variety of diagnoses including post-op joint replacements, tendinitis and tendon repairs, muscle sprains and strains, neck and back pain, hip and knee dysfunction, and shoulder/elbow/wrist injuries. Dr. Chen holds a holistic and functional approach to client care and rehab. She assesses and treats the entire body in relation to the primary injury.

When Dr. Chen is not in the clinic or studio she enjoys staying active in the weight room as well as hiking outdoors in Austin with her boyfriend and their foster pups. She speaks Mandarin Chinese and she is attempting to broaden her medical Spanish. In addition to physical therapy and wellness, Dr. Chen also has a passion for reading, traveling, and bubble tea.
