Client Success Stories
Focused, one-on-one care can help you return to the sport, training, and daily activities that matter to you.
Back to Snowboarding and Soccer
"I worked with Joe after having ACL surgery and he did a great job helping me get my knee healthy enough to get back to snowboarding and playing competitive soccer again.
I needed a good physical therapist to help me get back to that point, and would definitely recommend Joe to anyone who needs physical therapy."
Chris
Stronger for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
"Joe knew exactly how to build stability in my shoulder, which supporting muscles to strengthen, and how to make modifications for exercises I had been doing incorrectly for decades.
Can’t stress how much of a difference the right PT makes in your rehab goals. I’d give 10 stars if I could...."
Andrew
Back to Lifting with Confidence
"I tried physical therapy in the past but most of the time it felt like I was being put through exercises that felt monotonous. Joe practices powerlifting movements and was able to apply real world experiences with my specific injuries.
With his help, I was able to make a full recovery from my back and knee injuries while regaining full strength in a safe manner…."

Experience & Expertise
Dr. Joe has been practicing as a physical therapist since 2017, focusing on orthopedics and sports medicine. He is a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (only ~6% of physical therapists in the US have earned this certification!) and Champion Performance Specialist. He played sports (mostly basketball, football, baseball) his entire life and has been weightlifting for over 20 years.
Where traditional physical therapy often falls short, he uses his sports and strength training background to appropriately challenge clients in order to get stronger.
