563-421-0300 Call for an Appointment

I'm passionate about getting people back to doing what makes them happy. So many people are certain they will "never again be able" to do what is important to them, and I strive to prove those theories wrong.

My philosophy is that therapy should be fun. Injuries are not enjoyable, but the healing process doesn't have to traumatic. My goal is to use everyday activities to get my patients back to doing what is important to them.
