Patients Seen: All Ages

I take great pride in my work as a Ther­a­pist. I build per­son­al rela­tion­ships with my patients and strive to find the exact cause and nature of their con­di­tion in order to cus­tomize their care specif­i­cal­ly. I like to work in a pro­fes­sion­al but fun envi­ron­ment, that my patients enjoy com­ing to, as this often leads to bet­ter out­comes. I work tire­less­ly with my patients in order to cre­ate a plan of care spe­cif­ic to their wants and needs and to ensure that their goals are met. A large com­po­nent of my approach is edu­ca­tion, so that the patient quick­ly becomes inde­pen­dent and knowl­edge­able on how to stay fit, strong & healthy.
