I became a Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2017 and soon found there was a fundamental flaw in how we approached therapy. Why do we wait until people are injured before we tell them what they should have done differently? Furthermore, once someone completes physical therapy where do we send them to build on the gains made and to assist with cementing long term healthy habits. Unfortunately, most fitness centers provide little guidance and certified personal trainers are a costly (and sometimes risky) option. Welcome to Clinical Fitness where we bridge the gap between healthcare and fitness.

What I Can Do For You
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, older adult, novice gym goer or seasoned athlete, I can identify physical deficits that may lead to future injury and address them before they become a serious problem. Minor movement impairments, when repeated over lengths of time, lead to major injuries. Let me educate you on proper form, motor control, posture and joint protection so you can get back to your life and ensure you’re able to keep doing the things you love into your later years.
