I’m Justin (he/him). I’ve been a physical therapist since 2010 and I treat a variety of issues with a specific interest in spine pain, headaches, and chronic pain. I have an extensive background in manual therapy, exercise, and pain physiology. I believe deeply that the best approach is meeting people where they are and teaching people the skills to improve their overall wellbeing.
A big part of my passion in physical therapy is teaching! I am currently a full time faculty at South College in Knoxville, TN and an adjunct professor at Hawaii Pacific University in the DPT programs. Additionally I teach multiple post graduate courses in my areas of expertise through the Institute of Clinical Excellence. Some of my most memorable work has been with the organization I co-founded called STAND: The Haiti Project, which is an international non-profit that provides sustainable rehabilitative care to the people of Haiti.
