PROFILE

My scientific expertise lies in applied practice-based research focused on advancing rehabilitation strategies for musculoskeletal conditions. I strive to unravel mechanisms of rehabilitation and utilize this knowledge to improve clinical practice. I use observational, interventional, and mixed-method studies to provide the foundation for development and evaluate new interventions with an understanding that rehabilitation does not make an impact through one single pathway, but rather through a multitude of mechanisms.
