​In 2004, I joined the main local medical group that has now morphed into Sutter Health, which is currently one of the largest medical networks in the US. I designed their early back classes to help educate their patients. 

 

In 2005 I started teaching anatomy & physiology at Merritt, one of our local community colleges. This let me deepen and anchor my anatomy knowledge. In the process, I’ve written my own applied anatomy textbook and put the course fully online. So, if you’re ever interested, contact me:)

 

Along the way in 2007, retired football great and 4-time Super Bowl Champion Bill Romanowski became my patient. He is known throughout the league for his stellar work and training ethic and holds the league record of having played 17 ½ years straight without ever missing a game. His experience of having tried every sensible treatment he could find to keep his body and performance top-notch became my teaching guide.

 

In 2014 I furthered my studies with a diplomate training level course series in the AMIT method (Advanced Muscle Integration Technique), which is one of the few techniques focusing on improving muscle function by increasing their activity rather than reducing spasms or adhesions. Because this helps keep muscle tissue ‘young’ so to speak, athletes as well as active people perform at a higher level with less risk of injury.

 

Besides athlete’s testimonials, what convinced me to study the AMIT method is the fact that the Utah Jazz Basketball team performed with 60% fewer injuries than the leagues average over a 25-year span during which the players received the work delivered by my own teacher Dr. Craig Buhler.
