Shoulder, Sports & Orthopedic Physical Therapy in Bend, Or

As a physical therapist, I provide one-on-one, individualized care that helps decrease pain, improve movement, and get people back to doing what they love with confidence. I especially enjoy training athletes of all skill levels, and I treat a wide variety of patients for joint pain, upper extremity pain, balance deficits, post-op rehabilitation, and more. While I have a passion for the shoulder, I also am experienced with treating runners, cyclists, and triathletes.

Overhead athletes & shoulder care

While working with the Arizona Diamondbacks, I deepened my knowledge of treating overhead athletes and training advanced athletes. I use a proactive approach called prehab: sports-specific exercises that build total-body balance to improve performance and help prevent injury. I work with baseball and softball players, swimmers, climbers, tennis and volleyball players, and anyone whose sport puts demands on the shoulder.

Areas of focus

​

• Shoulder and upper extremity pain

Originally from Carlsbad, California, I grew up surfing the beaches of San Diego with my younger brother and parents. I moved to Bend for its laid-back community and active outdoor lifestyle. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, weight lifting, surfing, golfing, snowboarding, and sampling Central Oregon’s craft beer scene. If you’ve got a hike, sport, or adventure I should try, I’d love to hear it!
