Jack believes effective physical therapy interventions start with a patient-centered environment where respect, trust, honesty, and effective communication are paramount to the healing process.
Jack’s practice as a physical therapist is developed from evidence-informed care, clinical expertise, and the values and circumstances of the patient sitting in front of him. He will use these three main pillars to create a customized plan of care based on the patients’ needs.
Jack believes in the ethos of Headquarters Physical Therapy. He doesn’t just want his patients to simply reach their goals, but he wants them to enjoy the company they keep on the journey forward.
