Since arriving in Jackson, I have enjoyed the outdoor mountain lifestyle through downhill skiing, nordic skiing, and mountain biking. I enjoy participating in triathalons as well the challenge of high altitude organic gardening.
Fun fact about me: I am also a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT) and own Lucky Dog Rehabilitation here in the valley.
My personal PT tip: hip stabilization. “Without stable hips, it is hard to maintain balance and execute more complex movements for daily activities or advanced athletics.”
