“I feel all patients deserve to have an opportunity to spend time with their providers. Physical Therapists have a unique ability to connect with their patients by dedicating time to listen to their goals. Every human body moves differently and I am committed to providing my patients with individualized care that is catered to their movement patterns and goals (instead of a global cookie-cutter programs). I feel fortunate to provide healing through manual therapy and customized exercise programs.”
