TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY

James feels that physical impairments are most effectively treated through a wide-angle lens, taking into account not only physical, but mental, spiritual, and social factors as well.  James recognizes the complexity of human movement disorders and the need to approach each patient with an open mind and unique set of expectations.  James strives to make the rehabilitation experience effective and fun!

James is an experienced manual therapist with training through Level III from the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT) with additional training in functional exercise and dynamic lumbar stabilization.  James has worked exclusively in outpatient orthopedic settings throughout his career. Outside the clinic, he enjoys writing music and outdoor activities with his family and two dogs Milo and Cobi.
