I was drawn to a career in physical therapy because it combined my interests of helping others, problem solving, medical training and healthy living. To best help patients, I feel it is key to get to know what is important to them. This patient information combined with a therapy examination to determine an accurate diagnosis, leads to the most patient specific and effective treatments. My treatments typically involve teaching patients about their diagnosis, learning health and wellness tips to calm down their symptoms as well as exercises and treatments that will help them return to their desired activities.
