After completing her graduate program, Heather ended her seven year stint on the East Coast and returned home to Southern California where she began her career as a Physical Therapist. Since beginning her career in 2003, Heather has had the opportunity to treat patients of all ages, from young children to the elderly, and from all backgrounds, including student athletes, professional athletes and people with work related injuries, to name a few.
Heather especially enjoys treating people with shoulder and knee injuries, but has experience with all orthopedic ailments. Through regular continuing education coursework covering a wide-variety of therapy related topics, Heather continually expands her scope of treatment and expertise.
When Heather isn't working, she enjoys caring for her young triplets, volunteering time at their elementary school and spending quality time with her husband, family and friends.
