About Me
care philosophy
As a Physical Therapist, I believe that spending "quality" time with each client is crucial. Longer one-on-one treatments, lots of manual therapy and functional exercises truly encourage faster healing, growth and a successful return to sports and activities of daily living.Sports Medicine
