CLINICAL PRACTICE
I provide physical therapy services in the Ithaca College Occupational and Physical Therapy Clinic, specializing in the prevention and treatment of orthopedic injuries, with an emphasis on aquatic physical therapy for a broad range of patient populations.
SCHOLARLY INTERESTS
My scholarly interests include the effective utilization of aquatic physical therapy in reducing total rehabilitation time, minimizing the secondary effects of injury, immobilization and deconditioning, and facilitating a quicker return to full function. Additionally I am interested in exploring the incorporation of inter-professional clinical experiences into the education and preparation of physical and occupational therapy students.
