What do you like most about being a clinician?
Giving patients the tools to transform their lives by making simple lifestyle changes and promoting proper muscle activation and movement efficiency, while getting to see their progress firsthand. My goal is to help patients foster a healthy and active lifestyle that continues well beyond their time within the walls of South Aiken Physical Therapy. I want them to understand that they shouldn’t wait until something goes wrong to start exercising or making other lifestyle changes. I also enjoy the fact that I get to spend so much time with patients throughout their time in physical therapy so I get to know them on a personal level beyond just their injury.
