Craig’s passion for Physical Therapy lies in discovering the “Why?” within his patients. This includes: why they are in pain and discovering the true biomechanics cause of the problem, not just treating the symptoms. It also means diving into why patients want to recover from this injury and what activities, sports, recreation, or work demands to which they want or need to return. He enjoys the individualization of physical therapy and is an expert, educator, and student of anatomy, biomechanics, and orthopedics.

Craig grew up in Eugene and has lived in Oregon his whole life. He received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Pacific University in Forest Grove.

Craig specializes in orthopedics and sports medicine treating all body parts with an emphasis on a healthy return to activity. He has been trained in the Selective Functional Movement Assessment which stresses global movement assessment and a system/interaction approach over an isolated joint approach. Craig is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist which pairs perfectly with his Physical Therapy expertise.

Craig is an avid runner completing the Eugene Marathon in 2012 and participates frequently in half marathons and 10k, and has started doing obstacle course races. He feels many running injuries are related largely to a sedentary lifestyle and improper running mechanics. Craig also enjoys cross fit with an emphasis on moving correctly with technique first and foremost over speed and weight to train smartly and avoid injury. Craig has a great deal of experience with Golf Injuries and Golf Fitness, trained as a Golf Fitness Instructor and Medical Professional through the Titleist performance Institute.

Finally, Craig takes an innovative and creative approach applied to the science and research of diagnosing and treating injuries. This ensures that each individual will get a treatment custom to them; their injury, their environment, their goals, and their needs.
