PHILOSOPHY
I am a knowledgeable, skilled, professional guide on your path to healing. Each session is one hour, one on one with the PT. Evaluation and treatment are individually tailored to your needs.
Listening to your input is important because PT is for you, to help you reach your health goals. When a problem is complex, a good PT is like a detective, digging deeper to find the root of the problem so it can be addressed properly.
1-1-1-1 One physical therapist, One on One for One whole hour.
It is important to explain findings and the nature of an injury or condition as clearly as possible, and to provide patients with tools they can use to independently manage when the PT is not there. I consult with colleagues and refer to specialists when appropriate.
To continuously improve my knowledge and skills—I regularly attend continuing education courses, read and study at home, practice with other PTs, and network with climbing PTs in the USA and abroad.
