Joe most recently completed a year-long manual therapy Fellowship training at the headquarters of the world-renown home of the Institute of Physical Art in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

His treatment style utilizes a scientific, systems-based analytical approach, evaluating and treating the whole person, not just the painful area. Utilizing skilled manual therapy – including joint mobilization and manipulation, and proprioceptive neuro­muscular facilitation (PNF) techniques ­targeted strength and mobility interventions, and movement education to provide each client three-­dimensional care.
