Tyler’s interest in physical therapy was sparked by his passion for sports as a kid, helping others, and his own experiences with physical therapy after injuries. He enjoys treating patients with a wide variety of diagnoses, with special interests in orthopedics, sports injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation. Tyler also has experience with various neurological and vestibular conditions.

Tyler has two main goals for every patient: to set up a personalized plan of care to meet the patient’s goals and to find the root cause of the patient’s injury. He uses a holistic approach to rehabilitation by combining exercise, manual therapy, and neuro re-education to achieve the best results. Tyler believes in progressively overloading the body’s tissues, so be ready for a workout! He is dedicated to continuous lifelong learning and seeks further education to best suit his patients’ needs.

Beyond work, Tyler enjoys gym workouts and trying new sports, the newest being Disc Golf. He also loves spending time in nature and participating in almost any pick-up game.
