What is your favorite aspect about practicing physical therapy? 

​

Ever since I was a young boy I have always gone out of my way to help others. I enjoy seeing people smile and making them happy. I feel a sense of overall happiness and fulfillment when I am able to help others and I believe that it is a moral responsibility of every human being to help one another when in need. Unlike most medical professions, having a 60 minute, one-on- one treatment allows me to get to know my patients on a more personal level. I learn about the common day- to-day patterns that are typically driving their dysfunction leading to pain. This ability to become so familiar with my patients allows me to get a much better understanding of what needs to be addressed to prevent the continued damage caused by faulty posture, body mechanics or some type of environmental factors such as a poorly set up workstation. I could provide the best hands on treatment in the world, and my patient can walk out of my treatment room, pain-free, but if they go back to what they were doing that led them to this place, they are going to continue to suffer from dysfunction, leading to chronic pain and inflammation, and therefore creating a vicious cycle.
