Laura was extremely professional, thorough, and patient. I especially appreciated how she explained everything, including her diagnostic process. She also provided clear benchmarks for measuring my improvement, and realistic expectations for my recovery. Highly recommend!

Laura was an outstanding physical therapist and was very kind. Her treatment fixed my nerve issue in just 3 sessions - showing she was committed to helping me rather than making money. I'd strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a physical therapist in the area.
A board-certified specialist in orthopedic physical therapy, I also hold a diploma in MDT (the McKenzie method). I utilize MDT, based on education and movement, due to the outcomes. One-on-one visits provide the personal attention needed to teach patients how to treat themselves using targeted movement. Care usually entails specific exercises and any necessary lifestyle changes. The average number of visits is 6.
After becoming a DPT in 2010, I began exploring orthopedic ideas outside what was presented in school. I was drawn to MDT because its understanding of the musculoskeletal system translated to superior outcomes with patients as well as with my own disc herniation.
