Joash is experienced in acute and chronic injury management. He uses different therapeutic skills that include exercise prescription, manual therapy, and other therapeutic modalities to facilitate recovery, performance, and function. He enjoys educating others about the body, emphasizing on active rehabilitation and exercise.
Joash’s interest in Athletic Therapy came after sustaining multiple sports injuries resulting to surgeries and physical rehabilitation. Through first-hand experience, he learned that the road to recovery can be a long and dreadful process. Because of this, he realized the importance of complete rehabilitation. He wants to share and use what he learned to enable others to return to their day-to-day activities and sports, pain-free.
During his free time, Joash enjoys working out at the gym, golf, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
