The Lake Effect PT Difference
Always 1-on-1 With Your Physical Therapist
You are the only patient in your session. No double or triple booking. No sharing attention. Just expert, hands-on care from start to finish.
Treatment Based on Your Needs
Cash-based care means your treatment is based on what you actually need, not what insurance will cover. You're in control of your recovery.
Extended Sessions, Real Results
We take the time to actually solve your problem. Your sessions give you the attention you need—not the rushed experience of typical insurance-based PT.
Sports & Performance Expertise
Licensed PT with expertise in sports injuries, biomechanics, functional movement, and strength & conditioning. We understand active lifestyles.
Root Cause Solutions, Not Band-Aids
We don't just hand you exercises and send you home. We identify WHY your problem exists and fix it permanently—not just manage symptoms.

Our goal isn't to keep you coming forever. We empower you with self-treatment techniques so you can maintain progress independently.

Expert Care From Someone Who Actually Gets It
I’m a licensed physical therapist with a background in exercise physiology and advanced certifications, including specialized training for neurological and orthopedic conditions. My clinical experience spans outpatient orthopedics, home-based care, sports performance, and strength & conditioning—giving me a unique perspective on helping active people overcome pain and dysfunction.
I started Lake Effect Physical Therapy because I was tired of watching patients get lost in the insurance-based system. You deserve more than rushed, generic treatment. Here, you get focused, one-on-one care that solves problems at the root—so you can get back to what you love.
