Philosophy of care: First and foremost, I want my patients to understand what contributed to their problem, how therapy is going to help them, and how they can prevent reoccurrence. I instill in my patients that although I am here to help them, they must follow through with their exercises and lifestyle changes to truly maximize their therapy outcomes. I also believe in varying and combining my treatment approaches based on the patient's physical exam, personality, and goals. Specializations:
