  • Evaluation, treatment, and rehab for all orthopedic injuries (both acute and chronic), such as:
    • Head injuries (concussions)
    • Joint sprains and muscle strains
    • Bone injuries (bruises, fractures)
    • Overuse injuries
  • Qualified to provide treatment approaches including manual therapy, corrective exercise, stretching, and reconditioning
