Get The Care You Deserve

If you’ve recently suffered an ACL tear, I understand how emotionally and physically draining it feels as I have personally suffered two ACL tears and have had ACL reconstruction surgery. As a physical therapist, I want to help ease your fears and start the process of getting you back to the sports you love. My goal is to provide a personable experience and develop a trusting relationship with you. I have made it a priority to improve the outcomes of my patients through research-based treatments, utilizing evidence throughout the ACL recovery process.

Improve Post-Surgical Outcomes

While I understand that suffering an ACL tear can be debilitating, taking immediate action before surgery is critical and can greatly improve outcomes after surgery. Studies reveal that patients who undergo pre-operative therapy can more easily progress through early phases of post-operative rehabilitation. My goal in pre-operative rehabilitation is to ensure you are physically and mentally ready for surgery. I will guide you through exercises that will improve the current condition of your knee following the injury. Additionally, I will explain the expectations after surgery so you have a full understanding of the recovery process.
