Chad received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2008 from the University of Puget Sound. He also completed a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at the University of Puget Sound in 2005. He is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association and the Washington State Physical Therapy Association. Chad is working toward becoming a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Future career goals include completing both and Orthopedic Clinical Specialty and a Sports Clinical Specialty.

With the goal of efficient, normal joint motion, Chad works hard to assess and treat musculoskeletal injuries to improve strength, pain-free motion, power, agility and endurance. He not only focuses on short-term improvement, but also long-term prevention to insure that patients can return to sport and daily life with limited risk of future complications.

Chad’s special areas of interest in physical therapy are working with young athletes to help heal both major and minor injuries so that they can return to sport as quickly as possible. He also enjoys working with the foot and ankles because he knows that injuries to this area can make daily activities particularly difficult. Finally, he is excited about assessing and treating major traumas in order to provide an optimal outcome, through restoration or compensation, so that an individual can return to full, uninhibited activity.
