His desire for a deep understanding of the biomechanics that are influencing his patients’ injuries ensure that their assessments and treatments are thorough, detailed, and accurate. His enthusiasm for learning about people and their individual stories ensures that they can walk away feeling as though someone has truly listened to them and that their goals have been met. |
