“Being a physical therapist allows me the privilege to work with a diverse patient population that may include someone that has had a major orthopedic surgery to someone who is suffering from general aches and pains. I enjoy interacting with all of my patients, designing a personalized plan of care specifically to benefit the goals of each patient, and seeing the progression of patients who may walk in on crutches, but on their last day are able to run, jump, return to sport or work. Those are just some of the aspects that are very rewarding and what makes our physical therapy profession so valuable to everyone.”

Professional Interests
Understanding a patient’s goals in physical therapy is detrimental to individualizing each patient’s treatment plan. Whether your goal be returning to sport, returning to work, or simply to be able to walk without pain it is my responsibility to design a plan of care that will include a manual treatment approach along with an exercise prescription that will allow you to reach your maximum potential and get you back to performing the functions that are important to you.
