Physical Therapy

Initial evaluation: Includes a comprehensive history of current injury and physical habits, physical assessment, and sport-specific testing. 

Individualized care: You will work with me one-on-one for 60 minutes and never be passed off to an assistant or tech. 

Specific treatment plan: Each plan of care is individualized to your training and daily life so you can get back to your activity with full understanding and confidence in the road ahead.

Scheduling flexibility: Follow-up visits can be scheduled within a week or two of your initial evaluation instead of having to wait several weeks for a second visit. Schedule at a frequency that meets your individual needs.

Direct communication: Contact me directly without the need to go through an admin or patient portal.
