A Little About Me: Treating and Training in Johnston

This introductory blog tells you a little about me and what we'll be discussing in the health care and fitness worlds.

I have been working at Johnston Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine as a physical therapists assistant, along with being an NSCA-certified strength and conditioning specialists. I enjoy working where I do mainly because of the broad range of individuals I treat/train. Going from working with an elderly patient just coming off of a total knee replacement to training a high school athlete who wants to play Division-1 football definitely keeps me thinking!

I truly enjoy the teaching aspect involved with my job. Instructing people on healthy lifestyle choices and getting more people active is very rewarding. Just to watch the progression of my clients as they go from pain with sitting to running marathons is amazing!

I look forward to discussing a broad variety of topics within the health care and fitness world. The topics will be diverse. From nutrition to choosing proper running shoes, and fighting obesity to proper squatting techniques there definitely will be plenty to talk about!
