Rob grew up playing a variety of sports including basketball, baseball, and tennis. In High School, Rob sustained a shoulder subluxation while pitching and underwent intense rehabilitation. This sparked Rob’s interest in therapy and allowed him to see the value of therapy in restoring patient function. He later sustained low back and mid-thoracic injuries due to motor vehicle accidents requiring further therapeutic intervention. Rob’s life experiences and rehabilitation inspired him to engage in life-long continuing education to help others through guidance, education, and treatment to manage symptoms for return to pain-free movement.
Rob remains active in fitness and enjoys hiking, biking, and camping with his family. Rob values individualized care and educating patients on the type and nature of injury, anatomy, mechanics of the joint structure and function, and steps necessary for rehabilitation.
