I went in for a sprain in my ucl. Steve was exceptional in helping me recover and get through my fall baseball season healthy. Steve made himself more than a therapist, he made himself someone who genuinely cared about my well-being and getting me healthy. My experience with him was amazing!

Went in for therapy for tennis elbow from disc golf. Steve took the time to work with me on my form and gave me special exercises and stretches to help. Steve fixed my elbow without even touching it! His insight will help me get the most out of my drives, and has given me the building blocks to stay injury free in the future. Steve was great to work with and very enthusiastic to help find problem areas with my form so that I can continue to play disc golf well into the future. I would recommend Steve for any sports injury.
