hello,

My mission is to bring personalized physical therapy to you through movement analysis, corrective exercises and hands on facilitation techniques. I will work with you to get your body back to its fullest potential and more, whether you’re recovering from surgery or dealing with other painful issues, or seeking to regain athletic performance after injury. I do not shy away from complex cases too, when all other health care providers have failed. If you’re ready to start a change, I’m ready to bring the latest science and health care techniques to get you living your fullest life again.
