“The Human body and its resiliency have always fascinated me. Becoming a physical therapist has given me the lifelong reward of being able to work with individuals to improve their physical limitations, reduce psychological barriers that often accompany injuries/diagnosis, and to play a role in their road to recovery. I strive to help individuals not just return to normal but find their BEST HEALTH. It is a good feeling at the end of the day to know that I have helped a person progress towards a better quality of life and break FREE from the restrictions of their diagnosis.”

Mission: Next Chapter
Bill’s career as a physical therapist started while working for a small “mom & pop” physical therapy shop. Here Bill learned how one-on-one quality care can really make a difference in peoples’ lives for both the patient and the practitioners working in this environment. After many years working in this environment, the “mom & pop” shop joined a larger nation-wide franchise. Slowly but surely, Bill witnessed how the customized one-on-one care model slipped away. With the decreased reimbursement rates of insurance companies and the elevated pressures to “meet business metrics”, the family feel of community wellness had been taken over by “bottom-line healthcare”. It is Bill’s mission to return to his roots and re-create an atmosphere of community wellness that embodies the vision of:
Independence + Purpose = Fulfillment!
To inspire and help both patients and other practitioners choose a path to have freedom and autonomy in healthcare. To break free from “big-chain” healthcare!!!
