A typical appointment with Dr Steve involves a focused assessment, soft tissue therapies, acupuncture, and rehab exercises.

When Dr Steve is not “saving the world, one patient at a time”, he spends his time playing touch football, watching all things NFL, and training in mixed martial arts. Not one to neglect training his brain as well, Dr Steve also enjoys reading strength and rehabilitation articles and watching Jeopardy!
