The journey for a patient in physical therapy starts with communication, understanding and setting goals towards your recovery. It is my priority to get to know my patients’ conditions and what their individual expectations are. I do this not only to formulate a plan that addresses individual needs but I take the opportunity to provide my patients with education to impact on their life well beyond their time spent in physical therapy.
