An experienced orthopaedic physical therapy expert witness, this clinician has spent more than 15 years working in orthopedic rehabilitation, sports-related injury management, spinal and extremity dysfunction, and evidence-based musculoskeletal care. His expert witness work has included consultations, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony in matters involving physical therapy treatment, orthopedic conditions, rehabilitation protocols, and standards of care within outpatient rehabilitation settings. Clinical areas of focus include spinal manipulation, dry needling, KT taping, shoulder dysfunction, postoperative rehabilitation, sports therapy, and management of complex orthopedic presentations.

His professional background combines patient care, healthcare operations, academic instruction, and rehabilitation leadership. He has directed therapy operations for multiple rehabilitation clinics while overseeing staffing, leadership development, and annual patient visit volumes exceeding 30,000 across orthopedic treatment facilities. Additional executive responsibilities included leadership of rehabilitation service organizations and a performing arts medicine and wellness practice providing injury prevention and consultative services for dancers and performing artists. The expert’s work also extends to orthopedic evaluation, differential diagnosis, gait and balance assessment, rehabilitation following total shoulder arthroplasty, and treatment planning for musculoskeletal impairments affecting functional mobility and athletic performance.

Educationally, he completed a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, a Ph.D. in Physical Therapy, a Master of Physical Therapy degree, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. His doctoral dissertation examined the effectiveness of cervicothoracic junction manipulation on shoulder strength and electromyographic activity in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. He is board certified in Orthopaedic Physical Therapy and completed advanced manual therapy fellowship training directed toward orthopedic manual therapy specialization.

Research, teaching, and professional service have remained central components of his career. He has served as a faculty member and clinical educator within doctoral-level physical therapy programs, teaching musculoskeletal rehabilitation, therapeutic interventions, clinical reasoning, and business leadership in rehabilitation practice. His published and presented work includes topics related to spinal manipulation, orthopedic rehabilitation outcomes, shoulder stiffness evaluation, assistive-device gait mechanics, Tai Chi interventions, and evidence-based musculoskeletal treatment strategies.
