As an athlete and active individual I am very familiar with the frustration and uncertainty of not being able to participate or perform in any of the activities that I enjoy. This was the case when I was dealing with chronic running related injuries more than 15 years ago. I had taken up running, particularly long distance running, and eventually became one of the ~80% of runners who suffer a running related injury. My experience with the medical field was disappointing. I was essentially told to stop doing the very thing I had come to love. As I continued to look for solutions, I arrived at a Physical Therapy office. The therapist listened to my concerns, worked with me to develop a plan to get me back to doing what I love, and I returned to pain-free running having now completed dozens of races of varying distances including 5 marathons.

My mission is to help others move better, feel better, and perform better. While it is important to rest at times while recovering from an injury, it is even more important to seek out ways to restore, maintain, and improve your physical abilities throughout your lifetime. Movement is important both on and off the field. As a movement specialist, I understand the importance identifying and addressing the root cause(s) of a physical issue. Once the cause is addressed, further knowledge regarding individual movement patterns, mobility, stability, and strength can be the most effective way to ensure that you stay active over your lifetime.
