I love being able to educate, inspire, and assist with the healing process with patients. It is extremely rewarding to see people be able to achieve their goals that we set together in physical therapy! My background is primarily Sports Medicine. I have learned that age is not a determining factor in being an athlete. I have treated patients as young as 3 years old and up to 101 years of age. Whether it’s teaching someone how to walk again, returning to work, or getting back on the field, I love being able to be part of the process. I have been blessed with 4 kids that keep me entertained so in my spare time I like to sleep 🙂
