My Idea of Care

My professional philosophy has three parts: First, each person is different. I believe a careful evaluation of each individual will maximize the benefits of physical therapy. Secondly, “the more tools you have on your belt, the better” so I have mastered a variety of manual therapy techniques I can use to help relieve pain and restore function. Third, teaching: I spend time teaching each individual how to move to maximize healing and reduce the risk of re-injury.
