My professional experience spans nearly two decades and includes highly specialized roles that have shaped my holistic approach to care. I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Human Performance Physical Therapist for elite military units, including Marine Raiders at Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) and Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR). I also currently work part-time for the Buffalo Bills Football Organization as a physical therapist. This specialized experience allows me to apply the most advanced principles of injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization to a demanding, high-stakes environment. This expertise directly translates to my work with all my patients, ensuring they receive the same elite level of care to help them recover from injury and reach their own highest potential. In these demanding environments, I was instrumental in developing and implementing cutting-edge injury prevention and rehabilitation programs, managing complex orthopedic conditions, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure peak physical readiness for individuals operating at the highest levels. This experience has instilled in me a deep appreciation for robust, resilient human performance.
Prior to my work with Special Operations Forces, I honed my skills in diverse settings, including collegiate sports at the University of Puget Sound and a private orthopedic and sports rehabilitation clinic. This broad background has given me extensive experience in treating a wide spectrum of conditions, from post-surgical rehabilitation for knees, shoulders, and ankles, to managing return-to-sport progressions for athletes of all ages. My expertise extends to a range of manual therapy techniques, including Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT), soft tissue mobilization, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM), therapeutic cupping, and joint mobilization, all aimed at restoring optimal movement and reducing pain.
Beyond hands-on treatment, I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), which allows me to seamlessly integrate advanced exercise prescription and performance training into your rehabilitation journey. I believe in equipping you with the tools and knowledge to not only recover from injury but also to build lasting strength, resilience, and confidence.
