About

Barbara is originally from the Midwest. Her early interest in the human body and sports led her to pursue a career in athletic training and physical therapy. Through her education and residency training she has worked with various athletic teams at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. Her experiences with patients from the time of injury through return to play decisions gives her an edge when working to get patients back to their normal activities. She has also completed extensive coursework in trigger point dry needling and treating chronic pain to help her address multiple factors that may affect a patient’s recovery. When outside the clinic, Barbara enjoys hiking, camping, kayaking, yoga, and spending time outside with her family and dogs.
