"Most injuries aren't random. They're the result of movement patterns, training errors, or weaknesses we can identify and fix."

Understand the Why

No generic advice. I break down the anatomy, biomechanics, and root causes behind your pain so you actually understand what's happening.

Evidence Over BS

No fear-mongering, no quick fixes. Just practical, evidence-based strategies rooted in how your body actually works.

Active for Life

I specialize in treating orthopedic and sports injuries for active professionals who want to stay strong and mobile for years to come.

About

A back injury during college golf changed everything.

Going through rehabilitation — understanding the anatomy, biomechanics, and the "why" behind recovery — set me on a path to help others do the same. Today I play pain-free golf, lift weights, run, and compete in beach volleyball because of what I learned during that process.
