Approach

Dr. Steve combines manual therapy with active rehabilitation, with particular interests in sport and running injuries, concussion and post-concussion syndrome management, and non-operative approaches to lumbar spinal stenosis. The goal of every treatment plan is the same: get you back to the activities you care about, with tools you can use yourself between visits.

Outside the clinic

Dr. Steve spends most of his free time outside in the mountains — trail running and mountain biking in the warmer months. He’ll throw in a little tennis and pickleball now and then, but he draws the line at golf. In the winter you will find him chasing powder on his snowboard, but, if conditions aren’t great, he may make do with some mellow laps on his downhill skis or even an outing on the “misery sticks,” more commonly known as cross-country skis.
