Treatment Philosophy: The essence of survival constitutes the reason for rehabilitation; the subconscious effort to heal. As humans, we learn how to habituate in different situations from the basic instinct of survival. Physical therapy promotes that knowledge in a specialized science-based practice. With such knowledge and exuding motivational care, a higher quality of living will be presented in an array of patients that seek treatment for medical necessities, as well as those who try to negotiate activities of daily living. My intention is to provide intellectual insight and treatment to produce outcomes that enhance the quality of life for my patients. My therapeutic philosophy entails a commitment to improve that quality of life, promote an opportunity to gain, and to thrive.
