Doctor of Physical Therapy

★★★★★

  • As a physical therapist, my mission is to improve people’s confidence through movement. More recently, as a father, my “why” has grown to include supporting movement through lifestyle choices that maximize my chances for longevity. I have developed a passion for enhancing the genetic hand we are dealt with lifestyle choices – Sleep, Nutrition, Activity, Psychological wellness (SNAP!). I feel that these lifestyle choices are the true foundation for living well (and moving well).

  • As a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, I am ready to take on any of your orthopedic ailments! I further specialized with an Upper Extremity Athlete Fellowship and am extremely passionate about treating upper extremity injuries (both surgical and non-surgical). I have been involved in the CrossFit community since 2013 (including a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer from 2013-2018) and baseball community since my days as a "Teeballer." Dry Needling - I completed the 60 hours of requisite training to administer dry needling in the state of Virginia (through Myopain Seminars).

Dry Needling

Trigger point dry needling is a technique used by MovementX physical therapists to treat pain and movement impairments. This technique is used during PT sessions to relieve aches & pains, improve pain-free motion, and help you return to CrossFit faster. Combined with movement assessment and exercise prescription, this technique can be highly effective for common CrossFit injuries and mobility restrictions.

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)

Limited in how intensely you can exercise due to injury, surgery, pain, or deconditioning? With Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training, you are able to immediately begin a strength phase of rehab without damage or discomfort to the area in question. Administered during PT sessions, BFR involves the application of a specialized tourniquet cuff to the exercising limb to reduce arterial inflow and restrict venous outflow into the arm/leg.
