About
Welcome
SYNERVATION Physical Therapy, PLLC is located in Alplaus, New York. It provides one on one physical therapy services that is tailored to each unique individual. It also offers workshops and group wellness classes that incorporates mind, body and spirit to assist with the healing process, enhance athletic performance and/or injury prevention. It takes an integrated approach by looking at the body as a balance of interconnections on a musculoskeletal and systemic level. To improve the balance of the body will carry over to having decreased pain, increased ability for muscles to activate and better quality of movement. All are important for improved function whether related to sports performance or to accomplish daily activities.
The word SYNERVATION is a composite name based on (A) Synergy and (B) Innervation:
(A) Synergy is the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
(B) Innervation, from the word innervate, is to stimulate a nerve, muscle or body part into action.
The name SYNERVATION came from my philosophy that treating the body should promote the interconnected systems to work together to find balance for maximal function with reduced pain and stress on the body.
About
I am Cindy Leveillee, founder of Synervation Physical Therapy, PLLC. I received my Master's degree in Physical Therapy from Russell Sage College in May of 2000. I have experience working with a wide variety of patients with neurological and orthopedic diagnoses. I have worked in private practice, hospitals, pain management, school settings and an outpatient pediatric clinic. I hold a certifications in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) and Treatment of Scoliosis According to Principles of the Schroth Method (C1).
Philosophy
It's all connected
The human body is an amazing symphony of interconnections. I look at the body with a holistic approach with appreciation of how various parts affect one another. For instance, pain in a shoulder could be stemming from a problem with the opposite hip. The body’s systems (musculoskeletal, neurological, lymphatic, respiratory, facial and energy systems, to name a few) are all intertwined. Therefore, I think it is important to assess the entire body to identify and address the underlying dysfunction. While integrating this philosophy, I gravitate towards techniques that utilize the body's ability to align and heal itself.

Workshops and Group Classes
Synervation offers 3 progressive workshops that each correlate with optional group classes:
WORKSHOPS
Each workshop provides education, techniques and exercises to take home.
- Connect With Your Breath: This workshop is designed to enhance the body's primary muscle for respiration...the diaphragm. Its involves education on the many benefits of improving the diaphragmatic breath plus how to implement the techniques for home practice.
- Lengthen And Strengthen: This is the progression of creating stabilization with the breath from the first workshop and progressing it to strengthen muscles based on the body's natural patterns of movement.
- From The Floor To Your Core: This workshop continues to use breathing and natural movement patterns and integrates further into functional movements and postures.
GROUP CLASSES
Each of these group classes may be taken if an individual that has taken a workshop would like to explore further techniques and put them into practice in a group setting which takes advantage of collective connections and intentions. Classes are one hour.
- Connect With Your Breath: This class is designed to use the principles learned in the workshop and integrates energy techniques, structural modification and neurological techniques to optimize the connection with the breath and each other.
- Lengthen And Strengthen: Once the foundation of movement is established with Connect With Your Breath Class, this group class will isolate movement patterns to improve muscle timing and coordination.
- From The Floor To Your Core: This is the class that integrates the education, structural alignment and neurological pathways that the body has developed from each class into function.
