Joe is a Minnesota native who got his start in orthopedics and sports medicine coaching high school cross country and track and field. With a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Joe worked as an analytical chemist for five years while coaching. Hoping to help his athletes deal with injury, he transitioned to a career in physical therapy, graduating with a Clinical Doctorate degree from Wisconsin-La Crosse in 2009.
Since 2009 Joe has served the community, treating a wide scope of conditions — from headaches to toe pain, and everything in-between — with patients as young as seven and as mature as ninety-three. While he enjoys helping a wide variety of people and predicaments, Joe specializes in running injury treatment and prevention — including multi-dimensional running stride analysis — fulfilling his initial inspiration for medical practice!
For the past decade, Joe has refined my clinical practice with comprehensive, hands-on manual therapy interventions, including spinal and joint mobilization and manipulation, visceral (organ and fascial) mobilization, and advanced cranial and spinal treatment techniques.
Joe has professional training under the following disciplines:
Joe recently completed a year-long in-residence Fellowship training under Brent Yamashita, and Gregg Johnson, Founder of the Institute of Physical Art, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado in 2022.
His treatment style utilizes a scientific, systems-based analytical approach, evaluating and treating the whole person, not just the painful area. Utilizing skilled manual therapy - including joint mobilization and manipulation, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques targeted strength and mobility interventions, and movement education to provide each client three-dimensional care.
