Yes this blog post is all about me. But really it's more about how I can help you.

‍1. Why did I choose to join the Activcore Druid Hills (Atlanta, GA) team? I chose to join Activcore because the environment allows me to provide the best care possible.

This means I went through an orthopedic residency program where I received extensive training and clinical mentorship to obtain a deeper knowledge and skill set for treating complex musculoskeletal injuries. This experience allowed me to apply the most up-to-date evidence based practices when treating my patients to assist them in reaching their goals.

4. What are some of my interests/hobbies outside of work? Outside of work, I love to go to my favorite cycling studio, read, and hang out with my fiance and friends.

What Exercises Should I Be Doing to Prevent My Pain From Coming Back?

This is one of the most frequent questions I get asked as a physical therapist. The short answer is: a little bit of everything. But let’s talk more about this concept.
