About Virtual Hand to Shoulder Institute, LLC
Over the past 25 years, I have had the privilege of contributing to the field of rehabilitation within esteemed organizations, working closely with world-class surgeons and a team of highly skilled and dedicated clinicians. My driving force has always been to ensure that therapeutic practices maximize patients' recovery potential.
In pursuit of excellence in patient care, I have dedicated considerable effort to enhancing my expertise and proficiency. My approach is to offer evidence-based interventions that adhere to the highest standards of practice. I am a staunch believer in the power of scientific evidence, which I integrate with a holistic view of patient care. This ensures that our interventions are not only effective but also tailored to each individual's unique needs and aspirations. Our ultimate aim is to empower you with the necessary tools and guidance to achieve your desired health outcomes.
Recognizing that each patient's situation is unique, we are committed to providing personalized care pathways. While teletherapy stands as a highly effective modality for many, especially for upper extremity and hand conditions, we are equally prepared to recommend in-person consultations when they are in the patient's best interest. Should teletherapy not fully meet your needs, we offer concierge services for those in our service area, the Lehigh Valley, PA. Alternatively, we will facilitate a referral to an in-person clinic that houses the appropriate specialists for your condition.

We are advocates for teletherapy because it focuses on the core elements of rehabilitation that are most strongly supported by evidence—specifically, the timing, type, and progression of movements that lead to improved function. Teletherapy excels by concentrating on these critical aspects, steering clear of less effective practices that often require frequent clinic visits. This model not only ensures that you receive undivided attention during sessions but also equips you with the knowledge and tools to independently manage and advance your recovery, making the most of your time and efforts.
