History

Manual Therapy International (MTI Physical Therapy) is locally owned by three practicing physical therapists. Disenchanted by the corporatization and high volume-based approach of American health care, MTI forged a new patient care model based on low volume and leading edge clinical skill. Inspired through the training and subsequent certification from the Nordic Group of Specialists in Manual Therapy, the three established a practice to emulate a Scandinavian style of care that has since become the leading evidence-based approach to orthopaedic manual physical therapy. Our practice style continues to evolve through the latest research evidence, course work and our clinical mentoring of other physical therapists. As you work with your therapist, you will recognize the MTI approach and your practitioner's clinical skill. We know that your experience with MTI will be unique and allow you to meet your individual goals.

Specialties

I have extensive experience treating orthopaedic injuries (musculoskeletal and neural), post-surgical rehabilitation and pain management. I thoroughly enjoy working with athletes to assess their running mechanics, functional training routine and injury risk level in order to create a preventive training program. I also specialize in custom bike fitting for cyclists and in women's health, especially with women who have pre- and post-natal concerns. I also conduct educational lectures and classes for physical therapists, massage therapists, athletic trainers, exercise physiologists and personal trainers.
