Timothy Zepelak offers a bridge of multiple healing approaches
that address the entirety of you in a complete and conscious way.  He believes healing
is multi-dimensional with each person needing different avenues of aid
that reach their very particular points of concern.

Timothy is a forerunner in offering the integrated practices of physical, manual, and energetic based modalities.
His diverse background blends research based therapies on body structure, function, and biomechanics and emerging
therapies of mind-body connnection, neuroscience, and energy healing.

He believes that healing is a return to wholesomeness that holds value through a clinically competent touch &
knowledge of the human body, and a deeper look into the causal aspects of our nature, held in our subtle energy
and the inner spirit of ourselves.

Timothy's background honors degrees and certifications from Bradley University’s Physical Therapy Program and the
prestigious post-graduate orthopedic manual therapy residency training group, the Ola Grimsby Institute.  
Currently, he is one of only 4% of physical therapists in the nation awarded the distinction of orthopedic board
certification specialization. Timothy has experience in orthopedic private practice, sports medicine, and with the
nation's #1 ranked Rehabilitation Institute as their senior outpatient therapist in a multi-disciplinary setting of chronic
pain management.  He has spent years of study into world approaches of Norwegian, Australian, New Zealand,
Canadian, and Eastern styles of manual therapeutic approaches that allow him clinical access into the
neuromusculoskeletal system with specificity for alleviating pain and restoring function.  This clinical expertise has
paralleled complementary study in schools teaching mind-body connection, meditation, and the connection to the spirit
within us all.  This part of his practice has always been home as he feels the opportunity to connect in presence with
each person to the part of them that is real, valued, and beyond just their body.
