     "I am dedicated to providing high quality, compassionate, and individualized care and education to each patient in a friendly, caring, and motivating atmosphere."

PATIENT CARE PHILOSOPHY...

     "I believe that determining a patient's own goals and then creating an individualized, focused treatments plan that actively involves the patient is the basis for achieving a successful outcome and maximizing a person's physical function and performance.  Comprehensive, efficient care is delivered through education, manual treatments, prescribed exercise, and various other treatment modalities.  Engaging the patient in an independent home program is essential in reaching their goals and preventing future reoccurrence."

     "I am committed to providing each patient with the most current treatment in a kind and compassionate environment.  Over the years I have continued to expand my knowledge and keep up with current procedures through continuing education courses, self study and professional study groups.  I am a firm believer in the mind and body working together, and thus embrace many of Joseph Pilates principles..."

PATIENT CARE PHILOSOPHY...

     "Always treat your patients as you would like to be treated.  This includes listening to each individual and encouraging the patient from the beginning to be an active participant in their rehabilitation.  Using various manual skills, patient education, and home exercise programs, I strive to help the patient reach their maximum potential in a timely manner."
