About Me:

While I did grow up playing sports most of the year I suffered a lot of injuries as a kid and adolescent. I remember the frustration even at a young age of being sidelined from doing what I loved. My Mom also had Post Polio Syndrome, so I got to witness first hand the impact of poor health management on an entire family when outcomes and education are not optimal for the client. I realized my Mom had to try and figure out how to maintain her fitness on her own, as well as juggling the fear of possibly injuring her susceptible joints. While she has found ways to keep kayaking, biking, and walking to keep healthy, she could've done it with much less fear if she had a guide. Right out of High School I knew I wanted to be a Physical Therapist, but I've always had a love for the weight room and the spirit for increasing performance without the nagging injuries that prevent you from being consistent with your workouts. I completed my Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy at Husson University. I then moved to Greenfield, MA where I had the opportunity to complete a 1 year residency in Physical Therapy Orthopedics at Baystate Franklin Medical Center and Springfield College. After that we moved to Boston and attended a 2 year fellowship in complex spine conditions at the Institute of Orthopeadic Manual Therapy in Woburn, MA with a focus on patient communication and hands on treatments. I also received my certificate as a strength and conditioning specialist while in Boston. I had to opportunity to work the MIT men's basketball team, local Gaelic football teams, athletes from surrounding colleges in Boston, and members of the Celtics dance team. Maybe you're working out for yourself, or maybe you're doing it for your family, but I am so excited and proud to be a part of your health and wellness journey! Credentials:
- Doctor of Physical Therapy
- Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist through the APTA
- CSCS through the NSCA
- Orthopedic Manual Therapist through the Institute of Orthopeadic Manual Therapy

🙃 Ever notice how everyone seems to get the same three rehab exercises?

You’re not imagining it.

If you’ve been to traditional PT, a chiropractor, or gone down a YouTube rabbit hole, you already know the drill:

Clamshells. Bird dogs. Band walks.

Then you’re told to repeat it next week… and the week after that.

But here’s the problem:

Your pain isn’t the same as the person on the table next to you.

So why is your program?

At Premier Rehab, we don’t recycle exercises or assume what your body needs.

We watch how you move, test what’s actually driving the problem, and build a plan around your goals — not a generic template.

🚫 No cookie-cutter programs
🚫 No “everyone gets this” routines
✅ Just individualized care that actually makes sense

If you’ve been doing all the “right things” and still feel stuck… it might be the plan that’s failing you, not your effort.

If you’ve tried every “posture fix” for your neck pain and nothing has changed,

It’s probably because you’ve only been told to focus on your head and neck when the real problem often starts somewhere else.

Most people are stuck in a forward head position because the muscles in their back are pushing them forward.

Not because their neck is “too weak” or they’re “not trying hard enough.”

That’s why cues like “stand up straight” or “pull your shoulders back” feel right in the moment…

But actually push your center of gravity more forward, which makes the head position worse over time.

The two drills in this video are where we start with many patients to help their neck stop fighting their posture — adapted with credit to , with skeletal visuals from .of.motion.

If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck in that forward head posture or ongoing neck tension…

If overhead pressing bothers your shoulder,

It’s often because your weight is drifting too far forward.

When that happens, your body tightens up to keep you balanced.

Which limits the space your shoulder has to move overhead.

Standing on slants shifts your weight back so your shoulder can move through its full range without getting pinched.

A simple setup that can make a big difference.

📌 Save this for your next shoulder day.

Most people never get told this: Where it hurts is almost never why it hurts.

But traditional PT tends to stay laser-focused on the painful area,

Adjustments, ice, stretching, and the same 3 exercises you’ve already done a hundred times.

The problem?

You can “treat” the painful spot forever and nothing changes long-term if the actual driver of your pain is somewhere else.

That’s why so many active adults say: “PT helped for a week, then the pain came back.”

If you’re tired of putting band-aids on symptoms and want someone to actually explain the real issue behind your pain…

🧐Sit like this while watching TV at night?

Here’s what most people don’t realize:

The position you rest in can keep your back irritated for days.

When your legs are stretched straight out in front of you,

It puts extra tension on your nerves.

And that tension can make back pain feel worse without you knowing why.

The fix doesn’t require a new stretch or routine.

It just means giving your back a smarter resting position.

Try this instead:
1️⃣ Sit with your feet flat on the ground
2️⃣ Or lie on your side — it’s not lazy, it actually helps your back calm down

Know someone who ends every night in this position?

✨ Send this to them.

A lot of people think pushing through pain proves they’re tough.

But here’s the truth:

Pain isn’t a badge of honor.

It’s a barrier.

It keeps you from training the way you want to.

It steals your energy before the day even starts.

It makes you less present with your family, even when you’re physically there.

You’re already tough.

But imagine how much more you could do,

How much stronger you’d feel,

How much more confident you’d move,

How much more you’d show up for the people you care about...

If pain wasn’t the thing constantly holding you back.

Your potential is bigger than your pain.

You don’t have to push through it.

You just have to fix it.

🔥 The biggest mistake people with back pain keep making?

They treat the symptom instead of the cause.

And it usually looks like this:

➡️ Stretching (temporary relief… pain comes right back)
➡️ Resting (until the next flare-up)
➡️ Adjustments, massages, heat (feels good for a minute, changes nothing long-term)

Here’s the truth:

None of those things explain why your back keeps flaring up.

If you only treat the spot that hurts, you’re missing the real issue.

Your back doesn’t live in isolation...

It responds to how your hips move, how your ribs position, how your feet load, and the strategy your body uses to stay upright.

When we fix those, your back finally stops picking up all the slack.

That’s why our patients don’t just “feel better.”

They get back to running, lifting, hiking, parenting — without the constant fear of the next flare-up.

If you’re tired of chasing short-term relief,

💭DM us "BACK" and we’ll help you figure out your root cause.

If all your treatment ever focused on was the spot that hurts…

You’re only getting half the story.

Back pain doesn’t happen in isolation.

Neither does shoulder pain.

Or knee pain.

And if every clinician you’ve seen has only worked on where you feel it (adjustments, massages, injections, stretches, the same exercises you’ve been doing for years)…

It makes sense that nothing ever sticks.

Pain-only care = symptom care.

Symptom care = temporary relief.

If you want a real fix, you have to find the root cause;

The things happening outside the painful area that are actually driving the problem.

If you’re tired of chasing symptoms and want to understand what’s really going on…

Your body deserves a solution that lasts.

If you’re an active adult who trains hard but keeps getting stopped by knee pain…

You’re not doing anything wrong.

One of the most common things we hear is, “Split squats always hurt my knee.”

And for a lot of people, that’s true.

Not because the exercise is bad,

But because your body can’t find the right foot pressure or alignment to keep the load where it belongs.

So instead of forcing through pain, try this variation:
✔️ Elevated front foot
✔️ TRX for support
✔️ Three foot contacts (heel + big toe + little toe)
✔️ A “droopy” pelvis to stack your ribcage
✔️ Let the knee travel forward without collapsing

This shifts the work into your quads and shin — not your knee joint.

If you want to keep getting stronger without constantly battling knee pain…

📌 Save this for your next workout.

Your knees will thank you.

🧐Follow the printed out exercise sheet handed to you by traditional PT… but you're still reaching your movement goals?

Did your pain just come back after you stopped seeing your PT?

We’ve heard it before.

Big PT loves a “one-size-fits-all” program.

The same handful of exercises, stretches, dry needling, and heat packs no matter who you are or why your back hurts.

The problem?

Pain isn’t the same for everyone.

✅ Your root cause might be different from the next person’s.

✅ Your body moves differently.

✅ Your goals aren’t identical.

That’s why here, we don’t hand you a cookie-cutter plan and hope for the best.

We figure out what’s actually causing your pain and work with you to build a program that fixes it for good.

You deserve more than a photocopied exercise sheet.

🚫 Core strengthening isn’t as helpful for your low back pain as you might think

The truth might surprise you

💪 The core isn’t actually defined

There is no definition of what the core is. There actually is no agreement in the medical community.

So when your doctor says do more core strengthening, no 2 people know what that means

👍 “Good outcomes” in the research isn’t great

The actual outcomes in the core strengthening research are considered good if they call out of sick less often from work

And their pain went from a 7/10 most days to a 4/10

Not forgetting they ever had back pain

🏋️ What helps

Having more motion in your hips and ribs

Then getting strong while keeping that motion

Diet, hydration, stress levels, and understanding what to expect as you get better are all important

🔑 Takeaway

Ending back pain that has been bothering you for months to years and sucking the fun out of exercise probably isn’t going to get any better from doing more core strengthening.

Eliminating the root causes away from the spine will
