Aurora Physical Therapy

To empower my patients to go beyond their perceived limitations and take their health into their own hands.

My treatment philosophy is still evolving as I figure out who I am as a Physical therapist Assistant. I like to listen to the body during my treatment sessions. I feel that the phrase “No pain, No gain” I feel is detrimental to an extent. Therapy should never be painful, you should feel like you are working out, but never making the pain worse. I think listening to the body is super important, it will tell you when it has had enough, and I don’t think ushing past that point is helpful to a patient's therapy journey.

I believe in treating the whole person rather than just their diagnosis with use of personalized care and treatment. Each individual is different, and therefore should be receiving treatment that is specific to them. Whether someone wants to be able to return to sports, gardening, or just be able to do household activities again, tailoring a treatment plan to their personal goals is so important. My favorite part of being a therapist is helping patients get back to doing what they love.  

I believe everybody is unique and different, therefore they should be treated as such in physical therapy. I'm big into finding out patient's functional goals for Physical Therapy or anything important in their life they feel limited in doing and helping them get back to 100 %.

I believe that you should not fear movement, my goal in this career path is to make sure my patients are comfortable moving in their own bodies. I believe a little bit of movement and exercise a day keep the doctors at bay.   

Hands on with each patient is a way to make a connection with each patient and to understand better what might be going on with their diagnosis and how to treat from there. It is about getting them back to as much function as possible.

I like to motivate our patients to reach their goals and help them achieve more than they think they can. Estamos aqui para ayudarle a lograr sus metas funcionales. (Translation: We’re here to help you achieve your functional goals)

I strive to empower each patient and their abilities throughout each appointment in order to make PT fun and feel rewarding at even the smallest steps of progress along the way. My goal is to make sure every patient feels comfortable, understood, and important and understands why the body acts the way it does during and after an injury.

I believe in helping patients grow by guiding their education and development, empowering them to take charge of their own health. My goal is to serve as a tool that makes the rehabilitation process effective and efficient, while still creating a supportive and enjoyable environment where every patient feels confident in their rehab journey.

I believe in helping patients grow by adapting my treatment to their style and finding what works for them. Once it's found, I believe in progression as rehabilitation to ensure the patient is given the most out of Physical Therapy. With me you will feel important, strengthened, and hopefully better in no time!
