It all started when I was a teenager. I was born in family of physical therapists. Seeing my mother and my both uncles helping other people made me chose this route. I really enjoy making people’s lives easier by helping their symptoms, eliminating pain from their lives and improving their function and needs that every day brings. Providing a positive approach and building close relationship with my patients, I am trying to promote healthy and active life style.

I decided to study physical therapy because I truly enjoy helping my patients live more active and fulfilling lives. With over 15 years of clinical experience and specializing in the treatment of neck and back injuries, I believe that implementing Pilates with balls and different manual techniques allow my patients to recover quickly. Overall, seeing my patients happy and feeling better is the most rewarding aspect for me as a physical therapist.

I chose Physical Therapy because I love working with people and because I have a vast interest in health, fitness and wellness. My goal is to figure out what is causing my patient’s pain or weakness, what are their functional limitations or postural problems so, then together we work toward reaching their desired goals.
