She has spent most of her career in out-patient orthopedics, with a special interest in spine care. She has been fortunate to work with many of the area’s spine care and orthopedic specialists. She opened her private practice physical therapy office in Sugar Grove in Feb 2001, in order to provide quality one-to-one physical therapy care. She opened the Geneva office in October 2003, when asked to provide the same standard of care to the tri-cities neurologically involved populations. Both offices have evolved into out-patient offices for neurological and orthopedic populations of all ages, women's health disorders, pediatrics, work hardening, vestibular and balance problems. Julie believes passionately in physical therapy. She has seen how our manual skills at West Physical Therapy, PC and our “one on one” style of care can benefit all types of people, with all types of conditions and improve quality of life.
