Atrium Health Provider
Accepts New Patients
Treats All Ages
In-person visits only“I started my doctoral work studying sports performance and human movement, and realized my passion was in helping people with significant injuries that could have a life-long impact on their ability to do the things that give them purpose or joy. To help patients fully recover, we have to treat the whole person and not just their broken bones. We need to help address those needs outside of a patient’s injury that impact a patient’s recovery."
