Dr. of Physical Therapy and Personal Trainer
Looking to improve your performance? Strengthen your body? Remedy a current/ past injury?
My Treatment Philosophy
My treatment philosophy stems around evidence based practice that has been backed by strong scientific research. Due to my strength training background, I give my clients the tools they need to recover from injury safely and stronger than before.
I love working with soccer, running, and snow sport athletes. Due to my life long participation in these activities, I understand what these sports require and the detailed movements behind them.
I do not believe one exercise mode is superior to another. They all offer their own strengths and weaknesses.
While a manual hands-on approach is appropriate at times, I prefer to educate the client, provide them the tools and deliver the long term solution they are seeking.
