Early in his undergraduate career, Evan was studying to be an engineer until he injured his shoulder, underwent rehab and switched his college major to become a Physical Therapist.  With that engineering mind, Evan has a strong understanding of human biomechanics and gait assessment.  He uses this to treat the body as a whole in order to allow the musculoskeletal system to move synergistically through the patient’s desired movement patterns.

 

As a former athlete with his share of sprains and strains, Evan would discover that Physical Therapy would be his medium to help people of all ages recover and prevent future injury.  Shorty after he graduated Physical Therapy School in California, Evan started a family, and moved to beautiful Colorado where he set out to pursue his long time passion for injury prevention, hone his manual therapy skills and progress his sports performance education. He strongly believes in educating his patients on spinal health and pelvic girdle balance to achieve optimal force transfer through the entire musculoskeletal system. 

 

He is a Certified Mulligan Practitioner (CMP), a manual therapy certification that uses “joint repositioning” during functional movements to abolish pain and restore functional strength, but he also uses a customized blend of manual therapy skills, scientific exercise progression and other treatment techniques to create a comprehensive and customized plan of care for his patients.

 

Evan and his family enjoy the mountain air, quality of life, weather and the community that Colorado offers.  He has three active kids with whom he likes to camp, hike, fish, garden, and play all sports.  He loves to work with his hands whether it be DIY projects around the house, carpentry or legos!
