I realized after working in several different settings that this is the way to get the best results for clients because you can focus on them for a full hour.

Yes this blog post is all about me. But really it's more about how I can help you. I began my fitness journey with my own health journey.

My whole life changed when I rapidly gained weight and declined in overall health. My doctors were alerting me of pre-diabetes and prehypertension at just 20 years old!

Yes this blog post is all about me. But really it's more about how I can help you! I always felt drawn to the healthcare field, but physical therapy didn't jump out to me initially. There were a few different facets of my life that blended to push me towards PT. I have always had a passion for fitness growing up in sports, as well as swimming in college.

Yes this blog post is all about me. But really it's more about how I can help you. I chose to join Activcore because the environment allows me to provide the best care possible.

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist (OCS). I work at Activcore in Denver, Colorado. I enjoy working with all types of orthopedic conditions, but I am most passionate about helping athletes overcome injury and return safely to their sport.‍ That's because I participated in athletics from a young age and played competitive volleyball throughout my high school years.

When you begin an exercise routine, it is helpful to develop a goal for yourself so that you stay on track. When making your goals, keep them simple and SMART. When goals are SMART, they give you the opportunity to make a concrete plan. SMART is the acronym for all components of a well-planned goal.
