Tim is experienced with orthopedic, sports and manual physical therapy. He has brought over 30 years of wisdom and experience to his practice. Tim is a recent transplant to the northwest, having spent his first 22 years as a physical therapist in his hometown of Ithaca, New York. While in NY, he was also a part-time faculty lecturer in the Physical Therapy program of Ithaca College, teaching the spine and orthopedic courses. Tim is a lifelong learner, having studied with a variety of educators and programs, including extensive manual therapy study with the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT).
