Summary
I am a patient-focused physical therapist with a comprehensive knowledge of orthopedic, pediatric, biomechanical, overuse, and neurologic injuries; in acute, chronic, and post-surgical stages. I have experience in outpatient orthopedics, acute care, home health, pediatrics, visceral manipulation, vestibular and concussion management, skilled nursing, and athletics. I have a special interest in promoting health and wellness within the community and for each person individually. I have a love for complex patient populations including chronic pain, chronic visceral dysfunction, multi-joint trauma, and patients with multiple injuries. I am caring with strong interpersonal skills which I use while performing patient assessments, therapy-program designs/implementation, clinic management, and patient treatments.
