My orthopedic surgeon in high school recommended that I stop running after incurring multiple stress fractures. After several months of Physical Therapy and then becoming a Physical Therapist, I have run several marathons. Physical therapy centers around healing the body and human spirit. I believe that passion drives my practice; passion for our profession, passion for my patients and passion to make a positive impact in medicine.
