Specialties
My Physical Therapy focus has been in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. My style of care is primarily manual therapy and exercise with a heavy focus on proper biomechanics. I treat all body areas including backs and necks, shoulders, elbows, Hips, knees, feet and ankles. I treat all injury from sprains, strains and tendonitis to post operative rehabilitation such as total joint replacement and rotator cuff repairs. I am versed in most PT Modalities such as Dry Needling, Ultrasound Electric Stimulation and Kinesio Taping.
Interest/Hobbies
My wife Carlynn and I have 4 children, a dog and two cats. We are very involved in fitness including; running, biking, weight training and walking.
I am an outside type of a person. I love fishing and bird hunting with my Red Lab Kona. I have traveled to do both to Canada, South Dakota, Texas and packed a fly rod to Hawaii.
I have a cabin in Lac Du Flambeau WI where my wife and I spend much of our time. We love to travel when time allows. Hawaii is our favorite destination but Florida more recently.
Philosophy
I believe you are, beyond your genetics, what you do and what you eat. You have the ability to control your physical capabilities in the areas of strength, flexibility, coordination and endurance. Injury occurs when demand on body structures is greater than your capability or trauma has occurred. My job is to reduce your inflammation and help you build your supply in these physical capacities so pain resolves and function is restored.
Feel good, perform better, lead an active life and have fun.
