My hope is for you to have long-term quality of life. If I am part of your health care team, I will bring my 20 + years of constant study to the table every time. I know what it is like to NOT feel like I want to from injuries, time, gravity, stress, pressure, and genetics. I will analyze your movement, your brain, and your body to come up with a plan to feel better, move better and function better.
