Professional Interests:  

My professional interests include the evaluation and therapeutic management of upper extremity problems and disorders, particularly those affecting the elbow, wrist and hand. I also have a strong interest in the role of therapeutic modalities and in electrodiagnostic testing. I am also interested in the application of physical therapy techniques in the management of respiratory conditions. My research has been in the area of physical agents, especially iontophoresis. For more details, please review my curriculum vitae.
