May 2013 - Apr 2016
I managed a full case load treating out-patient orthopedic and sports medicine cases, but also specialized in knee, hip and shoulder injuries with a primary emphasis on sports medicine. I gained best in class experience with one of the nation's top PT organizations before venturing out on my own. My time with Athletico helped form the business foundation necessary to run my own clinic.

Nov 2015 - Feb 2016
The vision for the Physical Therapy programs at The FIT Institute started as Fit Together PT, a program that I developed focused on return to play and injury prevention in adolescent and adult athletes. My goal is to apply a medical model towards sports performance. I developed the ARSI Movement System which promotes healthy sports specific training for the growing athlete. We focus on improving movement patterns to support the developing skeletal structures and reduce risk of overuse and non-contact injuries. A: Assess; identify muscle imbalances and strength/flexibility deficits R: Recruit; improve muscle recruitment during functional movements S: Stabilize; improve stability through muscle groups to reduce overuse I: Integrate; improve body awareness & integrate proper mechanical loading during sport specific movements
