"“Perfection is not attainable, but if we choose perfection, we can catch excellence.""
Tyler’s journey with physical therapy began with his own knee injury in high school while playing baseball and football. This experience inspired him to help others achieve pain-free lives with improved function and quality of life. He has a passion for working with all age groups and providing individualized, goal-oriented care.
He has experience in utilizing dry needling and treating athletes, general orthopedics, and pre/post-surgery with a special interest in shoulder, foot/ankle, knee, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
Tyler specializes in relieving pain and improving jaw function through targeted physical therapy techniques. These include tailored exercises, manual therapy, and posture training to address TMJ-related issues effectively. With experience in treating athletes, general orthopedics, and pre/post-surgery rehabilitation, Tyler has a special interest in shoulder, foot/ankle, and knee conditions. He is dedicated to helping patients regain mobility and return to their favorite activities.
Outside of the clinic, Tyler enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children, camping, playing golf, and watching baseball and football.
