About Me

care philosophy

As a sports medicine specialist, I believe it is important to treat the whole athlete not just the injury. Understanding biomechanics, sports specific overuse phenomenons and patient functional strength, allows me to look at more than just the injury. This ensures better outcomes and long term success for the athlete.
