Todd
received both his Master of Physical Therapy (1994)
and his Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology
from the University of Puget Sound. Todd’s study
of Manual Therapy, which focuses on hands-on joint
and soft tissue mobilization, began with the North
American Institute of Manual Therapy. He supplements
this knowledge with an Orthopedic Clinical Specialty
certification and continues to work toward a Manual
Therapy Certification, with an expected completion
date in 2006.
For the eight years prior to joining
3Dimensional Physical Therapy in 2005, Todd managed
an outpatient orthopedic clinic in Federal Way
where he successfully treated most orthopedic
injuries with extensive work with neck and back
injured patients. He is able to use his manual
skills to mobilize the joint or soft tissue dysfunction,
normalizing movement to the area prior to strengthening
the area.
Todd also has an extensive background
in work conditioning and administering Physical
Capacity Evaluations, which identify the functional
and physical performance abilities of an injured
worker compared to the job demands of his or her
occupation, thus, experiencing all stages of the
recovering injured worker. He knows what it takes
to get his patients back to work effectively and
safely. Outside of the injured worker arena, Todd
treats and works with athletes, keeping them on
the field and in shape to prevent injuries and
promote success.
