Must be proficient in orthopedic rehabilitation and chronic pain/dysfunction management with 1-2 years experience in outpatient PT.

- Whole-person assessments to address full body contributions to dysfunction and symptoms.
- Functional manual therapy
- Treatment is heavy on patient education in pathology as well as the joint deviations, soft tissue imbalances, and neuromuscular coordination dysfunction associated with their symptoms/complaints.
