She specializes in the rehabilitation of the upper extremities, knees, feet and ankles, as well as biomechanics and swimming-related injuries. April is also an adjunct professor of physical therapy and prides herself on making education an important part of every patient’s journey to full recovery.  In her free time, you’ll often find April lifting weights, biking, playing women’s tackle football and spending time with her dogs.

It’s very important to me to educate my patients on the how and why of each step of the rehabilitation process. My goal is for each patient to understand why we’re doing an exercise or a particular activity and how it will help them get better.
