TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:
I’m committed to providing individualized, patient-focused care that meets and exceeds your expectations.  I will properly explain your problems and how they are related to mechanical dysfunction and pain.  Our job as a physical therapist is to identify the pathological movement pattern, mobilize it to restore proper movement, and strengthen/stabilize it and the surrounding areas to restore proper function for normal day to day activities, work, and sports.
