Stephen has treated ages from 8 to 100 and prides himself in adjusting the treatment to the needs, skills, and physical level appropriate for the patient. Therapy should not be a one size fits all, but rather should be tailored to the individual and based upon the most proven and successful treatments available.
Stephen has maintained a close relationship in the community of Duluth/Johns Creek and has treated many of his patients for multiple conditions as they were satisfied with their initial outcomes and returned when further rehabilitation was needed for injuries to other parts of the body.c
