Physical Therapist
Primary work location: Kearney

Treatment Philosophy:
"I utilize a wholistic view to evaluating and treating patients. I believe that listening to the individual is so important. Showing care and compassion is part of the treatment process, as well as the skilled techniques that are used. My approach involves education about the specific problem, how therapy will progress, and involve the individual in establishing goals to be achieved. I incorporate pain reduction techniques followed by specific exercises to encourage self-management of symptoms."
