"Being a physical therapist is my passion and so is thoroughly listening to my patients, helping them and educating them to regain pain-free movement and learn how to manage their condition and function independently, improve their quality of life...& achieve their individual physical goals... No matter if it is running a marathon, being able to climb stairs, or being able to take care of a loved one."
