After graduating from the Medical University of South Carolina in 1999 with both a master’s degree in Health Science and a bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy, Jamie has taken continuing education courses each year to further develop his skills as a manual therapist.

He works with all orthopedic injuries and understands how to facilitate the healing process in a gentle and comfortable way. Jamie is originally from Connecticut and enjoys all the activities that Bend has to offer including skiing, mountain biking, fishing, and windsurfing with his wife, two sons, and dog.
