I have been a PT for 25 years, which is amazing since I am 25 (at least in heart) The theme of my career has been a never ending passion for learning and improving my skills. The field of Physical Therapy has continued to expand as we gain more insight in how to effect changes in the body. My goal is always to find the most direct path to help your body heal and improve. Through years of practicing and seeking innovative, cutting edge continuing ed, I am always reminded how our minds and bodies are connected. My training includes NDT (neurodevelopmental technique) certification, CMPT (Certified Manual Physical Therapy), OCS (Orthopaedics Certified Specialist), Visceral Mobilization, Craniaosacral mobilization, ISM ( Integrated Systems Model), Pelvic floor dysfunction, and many more trainings. Personally, I am a jack of all trades-outdoor enthusiast, winemaker, gardener, athlete, mom, wife, fledgling musician. I fully understand both personally and professionally the desire to function optimally. It is my pleasure and honor to get to assist our residents in feeling better, both in body and spirit.

MSPT
Since leaving the deep south 18 years ago to strike out as a physical therapist in the pacific northwest, Will has embraced the landscape, the people and the lifestyle of Washington. His interests in PT span the range of retraining movement patterns, reducing physical restrictions, and teaching people about their body’s “owner’s manual”. When he’s not helping his patients, or regaling them with talk of all things food-related, he can be found riding bikes or skiing with his family, dragging his camera into the hills, running aimlessly, or toiling on some unending yard project. He has undergone training several times each of the last 18 years in topics ranging from running analysis, soft-tissue releases, bike-fit certification, movement re-education, visceral mobilization, and function-specific joint mobilization. These are all aimed at learning to move well, enjoying daily activities without pain or disability, and getting back into the activies people love. Will is also a certified BIG and Loud trained therapist for treating Parkinsons.

PT Aide/ BPHF Front Desk
My journey has taken me from working as a cook, a banker, a tutor to where I am now, a student at Central Washington University and member of the staff at MSPT/ BPHF. I returned to college after an eight year break, to go into the brewing industry. I quickly realized, I value my health over making beer. Luckily, the majority of classes I had already taken served to fulfill a high school dream, to work in the Physical Therapy world. I will graduate with a BS in Clinical Physiology and a minor in Physical Rehabilitation. From there I intend to apply to PTA programs with the ultimate goal of working in the PNW. I've currently gotten into hiking and taking photos. When I'm not getting lost in a forest, I like to spend time with my family playing Catan and drinking lots of coffee.
