Orthopedics & Sports Physical Therapy in Amherst, NH

When pain and injury interferes with training, competition, hiking, skiing, climbing, or even just staying active, it can be frustrating to try to figure out the best management to get back to activity quickly. Whether you’re a recreational athlete, student athlete, college competitor, or an adult who loves being outdoors, injuries don’t just slow you down physically—they can take the joy out of movement.

If you’re dealing with pain that isn’t resolving, or an injury that’s keeping you from the activities you love, orthopedic and sports physical therapy with me can help you move forward with a clear, personalized plan.

If injury or pain is keeping you from training or staying active, I can help you return with a thoughtful plan focused on strength, control, and long-term success.

An Experienced Approach to Sports Injuries

Nothing is worse than weeks off your sport when you’re injured. Fortunately, that’s rarely the best path forward to an effective recovery. By taking the time to address not just the injury itself, but all the factors that contributed to it—including movement patterns, training schedule, previous injury, and body mechanics—you become a better athlete and ensure a safer return to activity.

As both the owner and physical therapist, you’ll work exclusively with me every session. Your care is built specifically around your sport, your body, and what you want to get back to. With over 25 years of experience in sport and orthopedic practice, and specialized training in orthopedics, sports medicine, dance medicine, and bone health, I look at injuries from multiple angles—how they happened, what movement patterns may be contributing, and how to build strength, control, and resilience for long-term success.

Care begins with a thorough evaluation looking at all the factors driving your symptoms. The evaluation findings help determine the most effective steps forward, avoiding the slow shotgun approach of trying a little bit of everything until something works. Treatment often includes hands-on manual therapy, targeted strengthening, movement retraining, and guidance around mechanics, posture, and load management. The focus is steady progress addressing deficits and a confident return to activity—not just symptom relief.

I’m an especially strong fit for youth and college athletes, recreational athletes, busy professionals, and active adults who want thoughtful, individualized care.

Sports & Orthopedic Conditions Commonly Treated

Whether you rolled an ankle on a trail run, strained something in the gym, or have pain that slowly built up from training or outdoor activity, sports-focused physical therapy can help clarify your next steps. I work with athletes and active individuals managing:

Sprains, strains, and overuse injuries
Post-surgical recovery (ACL, rotator cuff, labral repairs, joint surgeries)
Tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, gluteal, rotator cuff)
Shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and foot injuries (and yes, I love working with feet)
TMJ issues
Back and neck pain
Joint instability or hypermobility, including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Complex injuries involving multiple joints or recurring setbacks

Focused on Long-Term Performance and Confidence

My goal isn’t just to get you out of pain—it’s to help you move better, train smarter, and trust your body again. That means improving movement quality, building strength where it matters, stretching shortened muscles not just where the pain is, and giving you the tools to return safely to the trails, slopes, courts, studios, or gym with confidence.
