Care Approach
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new” - SOCRATES
Alex believes in utilizing evidenced based practice in helping his patient's overcome their injuries or impairments to maximize their overall quality of health. His approach for each patient focuses on an analysis of the full body to determine where the source of dysfunction is that is ultimately leading to an individuals impairment or discomfort. He understands that there is not a "one size fits all" approach to treatment, and thus utilizes all his acquired skills in manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, movement analysis, and patient education on an individualized basis for optimum results in his patient care.
