PHYSICAL THERAPIST & OWNER

After earning her doctorate in 2013, Dr. Shyla initiated her career as a physical therapist in a traditional outpatient orthopedic and sports clinic. Frustrated with limited patient care, stressful productivity measures, and insurance constraints, she opened Maximum Impact, her own clinic, seven years later. Dr. Shyla's primary goal is to prioritize personalized care, dedicating one-on-one time to each client and adopting a holistic approach that examines the entire body, seeking dysfunction beyond the isolated injury. This approach enables her team to address the root cause of injuries rather than offering temporary solutions.

Specializing in diverse patient populations, including active adults, fitness enthusiasts, endurance athletes, weightlifters, student athletes, and weekend warriors, Dr. Shyla, transitioning from a CrossFit athlete to a mom-lete, understands the significance of injury prevention and maintaining strength for everyday life.

Using a multi-disciplinary approach, Dr. Shyla employs various soft tissue techniques such as dry needling, instrument-assisted soft tissue work, muscle energy, and joint mobilization. Trained in Muscle Activation Techniques, she is the sole practitioner in New Mexico using the Neubie Estim device.
