Summary
My goal as a Physical Therapist is not to simply treat a pathology or condition, but to treat the individual. By using current evidence, personable patient-provider relationships, and goal-based plans of care, I will help ensure my patients are provided with the tools and knowledge to more independently and autonomously make decisions about their health while working towards improving their physical well-being.
