Performance Therapy

Performance Therapist: A Physical Therapist who has the ability to bridge that gap of physical therapy and performance.

Returning back from an injury isn’t easy. It requires:

• Determination

• Patience

• Mindfulness

Sure, there a lot more adjectives that can describe the process of returning from an injury or surgery, but the three words above requires a partnership. Understanding the psychological component of an injury is just as important as the physiological component of the healing process. I will be there to guide you.

My approach is simple: Listen

I tell my students and residents “The patient/client will tell you everything you need to know if you just…listen.”.

Listening not only guides my examination to uncover explicit symptoms but also reveals the nuances of their experience—concerns, fears, and goals. This understanding goes beyond the physical ailment, allowing me to tailor my approach, build trust, and collaborate effectively.
