No matter the client, my goal is the same.
To ensure that you perform, function, and feel better than ever before.
About My Practice
I earned my Masters in Physical Therapy from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Since then, I’ve worked with elite Olympic, professional, college, and high school athletes on both coasts, in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Boston and throughout New England.
With more than a decade of experience, I’ve treated and trained patients from every walk of life. No matter the patient, my ultimate goal is the same. I support clients in their rehabilitation and treatment process to ensure that they feel and function better than ever before.
In the clinic, I create customized treatment plans for each patient. I utilize a combination of functional movement training, orthopedic techniques, postural re-education, manual therapy, sports rehabilitation, and sports performance training—and a healthy dose of humor and popular culture references.
