Why am I a physical therapist?

I truly enjoy helping people understand the nature of their injuries and educating them regarding injury prevention. I tend to focus on patient education and postural awareness. Most people enjoy learning how they can affect their own problems and are pleased to have some control over their condition. I think most people are surprised when they realize that their “normal” posture may contribute to whatever pain or discomfort they may be experiencing.

Continuing education commitment:

I have completed my Pilates Certification and have taken a variety of manual therapy related courses that have addressed each area of the body. I think continuing education is important in order to keep up with the trends and changes in the industry so that I can be more efficient in treating my patients.

Professional and community activities:

I am currently an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association, have taught back school and have given lectures on athletic injuries to the public. Outside of work, I enjoy participating in events that benefit various organizations such as running the Jamaica Marathon as part of the Train To End Stroke program and participating in the Race for the Cure.

Personal interests:

In my spare time, I enjoy participating in most sports and running with my Black Lab, Tucker. I also recently began playing ice hockey so I try to spend a few hours a week on the ice.
