Maddy graduated as a Doctor of Physical Therapy from George Fox University, a program which placed strong emphasis on person-centered care and implementing evidence-based practice. She has experience treating individuals with a range of conditions including musculoskeletal injuries, post-op orthopedics, balance impairments, and back pain across a range of ages and abilities.

Maddy understands that the burden of an injury is more than just pain, and is also a heavy strain on wellbeing, identity, and participation in the meaningful activities of one’s life. She brings her knowledge and experience to work alongside you to restore thoughtless, fearless movement and promote return to the activities you love.
