Movement is medicine. Through prescriptive movement I believe you can tap into a more joyous life filled with opportunity. Additionally, as a physical therapist I am aptly positioned to participate in a team approach, having time to educate and discuss your health in total, referring and directing when necessary.

I brought Sean on board because I felt he would complement my experience with
his youth (see how I did that),
and that together we would challenge each other to stay current in practice and
diversify who and how we treat.
How we stay fresh in our careers is to have the good fortune to surround ourselves
with people who enjoy what they do;
are better than us at some of it and are open to learning in others
and who
care about the finished product as much as we do.
We have all of that here at Foley Physical Therapy
and
within the EngineHouse 16 Collaborative.
