Area of Discipline/Professional Expertise:
- Athletic Training
- Sports Medicine
Research:
- Therapeutic Modalities, Rehab, Tissue Compliance, Learning Styles and Outcomes. My research this year has mainly dealt with using deep heat and joint mobilizations on improving range of motion on patients with joint contractures. Also I measured knee joint capsule temperatures for a new product marketed by Procter & Gamble.
