PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Liam approaches rehabilitation with a movement-first perspective, believing that recovery and athletic development go hand in hand and that instilling confidence in your body in clinic allows you to live with confidence outside the clinic. His evidence-based foundation in orthopedic care, combined with advanced strength and conditioning principles, allows him to guide patients through comprehensive healing that prioritizes both function and performance.

With a clinical focus in sports and orthopedic rehabilitation, Liam works with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and brings particular expertise to pre- and post-operative care, including total shoulder replacements, knee and hip replacements, ACL repairs, and other orthopedic concerns. His Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential and experience with professional level athletes reflects his commitment to performance-based rehabilitation—he understands that healing isn’t just about returning to baseline; it’s about returning to excellence.

Liam holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from Eastern Washington University and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Washington State University. His professional certifications—including Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Certified Graston Technique Practitioner—demonstrate his dedication to evidence-based, integrated care. Beyond the clinic, his background in competitive dance and weight training has shaped his deep understanding of movement, body awareness, and the demands placed on active individuals. This unique perspective allows him to connect authentically with patients across diverse athletic backgrounds.

Liam is actively engaged in advancing the field of physical therapy through research and professional contribution. He has presented his research at the Combined Section Meeting (CSM), the largest national physical therapy conference in the country, sharing insights with leading cardiopulmonary researchers and contributing to evidence-based practice standards within the profession.

A lifelong Kitsap County resident, Liam has deep roots in the community and a genuine connection to the active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle that defines the Pacific Northwest. Outside the clinic, you’ll find him powerlifting, bodybuilding, enjoying (very) occasional runs, and spending time with friends, family, and his cats—staying grounded in the community he serves.
