How I work

I spent years in sports medicine and rehab treating the place that hurt. It worked, in the sense that people felt better for a while. Then they came back with the same thing, or something next to it.

That’s what pushed me toward this method. Now I start with what your whole body is doing before I look at the part you’re complaining about — because the part you’re complaining about is usually the symptom of something further up or down the chain.

I work with clients as a teammate. You’ll know what every exercise is for, and I’d rather you ask me why than do it on faith.

What I see most

Chronic low back and neck pain that has outlasted other treatment. Old athletic injuries that healed but left a compensation pattern behind. Knee and hip pain in people who are still active and want to stay that way. Clients who have been told to just live with it.

Background

Degree in Athletic Training and Sports Medicine from Springfield College. He worked as a certified athletic trainer in sports medicine and rehabilitation at collegiate, high school, and clinical levels before moving to biomechanical and postural corrective exercise.

Outside the clinic: his wife, a thoroughly spoiled dog named Gunner, skiing and snowboarding, fishing, golf, hiking, guitar, and the Patriots and Bruins.
