Board-certified Neuro Clinical Specialist
Certified Vestibular Specialist
Founder and Owner, Physical Therapist

My story: Physical Therapy should be fun and empowering! In my 2 ½ decades of physical therapy practice I have learned that patient engagement and trust are key to optimal outcomes. Working in a variety of clinical settings from inpatient to home care and outpatient facilities, has made me aware of patients’ needs in every environment. Also, working with patients and families from different cultures, backgrounds and ages has taught me that every patient is unique and needs a tailored rehabilitation program. My experiences as a continuing education instructor have allowed me to travel both nationally and internationally adding to my world view of the neuro recovery practice. 

Foundation: It is this desire to create individually tailored recovery programs that go beyond traditional rehabilitation therapy (with gym and maintenance programs) that led to the founding of Rehab Health 360. By blending medical knowledge, years of clinical experience and teaching, Rehab Health 360 has created innovative and systematic movement analysis systems to identify underlying impairments. Each treatment session is uniquely developed using the latest evidence-based treatment techniques to deliver desired benefits. We emphasize independence, motor learning & neuro plasticity for all our patients with functional goals being the highest priority. Coupled with effective communication, and a comprehensive home exercise program, we strive for complete satisfaction at every step of the neuro recovery journey. 

We are passionate about what we do and offer our patients a convenient and efficient way to stay active with physical therapy on a continual basis. Recurring physical therapy visits require planning, a prescription from a physician, and often, a visit to the Primary Care Physician. Rehab Health 360 helps streamline this process. We do not need a physician prescription to start therapy. Instead, the plan of care will be sent to your doctor for their signature, which will allow for continued therapy. Rehab Health 360 also offers three levels of gym membership program, where patients can exercise under the supervision of a physical therapist guiding them on the exercise regime & intensity.
