Leo Talaganis

PT, DPT, CMPT, CSCS, Astym Cert.

“I value that our profession allows us, as clinicians, to spend time and interact with our patients to determine pathology and movement dysfunction. I enjoy taking time to educate others on what their symptoms mean and how to improve their health. I believe that both a thorough orthopedic and neurological physical therapy examination paves the way for effective treatments. My advanced training with assessing joint movements and performing a comprehensive assessment of the spine and joints has allowed me to determine the best course of treatment. Routinely re-assessing the patient and seeing that they are on the right track is imperative. I find that physical therapy is an art and a science as rehabilitation is tailored to the person. I cherish being a part of an individual’s recovery and return to function.”
