I believe that in order for a patient to find success and satisfaction in their physical therapy experience, we must establish mutual trust and open communication at the very first visit. I make it a top priority to educate my patients on the “how” and “why” behind my treatment strategies, and I want every patient to be an active participant in their own rehab journey. My goal is for my patients to feel fully independent in their ability to meet and exceed their own goals well beyond the end of their time with me in physical therapy.
