My Vision
"I knew I was meant to be a physical therapist the moment I read the vision statement of the American Physical Therapy Association: 'Transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience.' The two things that spoke to me were 'optimizing' and 'human experience.'
"Like the APTA, I don't believe in perfecting the human body - I believe in optimizing each human body and remembering what is best for one, may not be the best movement, treatment, therapy, routine and neuromuscular patterning for another.
​
"I think it's also important to remember we ARE HUMANS, not robots. Our bodies are processes, not things. We are ever-changing. The things your body has experienced in its lifetime, and the corresponding reactions are unique. We should remember climbing to the top, may require different paths, tools and time."
