Practice Description: In an orthopedic PT practice I assess and treat pain and dysfunction as it relates to musculoskeletal issues. Issues like weakness, movement dysfunction, balance impairments, injuries, and surgeries (including joint replacements) can all lead to short and long-term effects. Improving and maintaining a good quality of life for my clients is my mission. Achieving this through mindful movement connecting body and mind is my preferred style of treatment.
