About Me
I specialize in neurologic rehabilitation, oncology rehabilitation and geriatrics. I treat patients with conditions such as movement disorders, Parkinson's disease, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Muscular Dystrophy, stroke, spinal cord injuries, vertigo, lymphedema, brain injury, concussion and total joint replacements. I also specialize in geriatrics, falls/balance, orthotic exams and prescriptions, wheelchair seating and mobility, prosthetics and orthotics and wound management.
I use various methods of treatment including therapeutic and functional exercise, manual therapy, therapeutic taping, and LSVT BIG, a treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease, delivered over numerous sessions designed to increase limb and body movement.
My practice has evolved to include many areas of specialty or expertise that are less common in physical therapy, beginning with a focus on neurological and complex disorders and evolving to include dizziness/balance/fall prevention and oncology. I am now most interested in preventative approaches, combining "fixing what's wrong" with efforts "to keep bad things from happening." I have always found that the relationships that can be built in outpatient therapy, over many years and episodes of care, can be extremely rewarding.
I am grateful for the experience of working directly with patients and families to form a care experience that is uniquely tailored to the person's needs and goals. I believe each patient has something to teach me about the care experience or life in general. I have carried that knowledge throughout my practice, refining techniques and my approach through these experiences as well as through the always-changing scientific literature.
As a department manager, I am also inspired by the patterns of care that patients receive, and I enjoy the privilege of supporting my staff in the work that they do. My current projects include outcomes measures, standardization of care, and patient- and family-centered care.
