This is how it all started…
I have been an Athletic Trainer for 5 years. Of those 5 years 2 of them were spent in the college setting and 3 of them in the orthopedic setting.

My hope is to help people avoid the frustrations of the orthopedics world and allow them to use that energy to put towards healing from injury. It took a lot off courage to start here and I just hope to give piece of mind to a few. Thank you for reading!
