"After 25 years of practice, I continue to look forward to the individual challenges that each patient/client brings to the clinic. I really enjoy being a physical therapist because it offers the unique opportunity to directly impact the quality of life of individual patients. I see it as my responsibility to help the patients achieve the goals they have identified. Physical therapists have the responsibility to base our clinical decisions on the best available scientific evidence. I also believe that as physical therapists, we have a significant role in supporting community health and wellness initiatives."
