“The high end commitment to fitness is the best predictor of quality aging. We surrender to the aging process without firing a shot far more than is forcefully taken. In that spirit I learned early on that partnering with the expertise available at Body Structure was the most ideal way to promote total wellness to my patients. I have been privileged to serve as Medical Director since 2009. We have formed a team of fine professionals who can guide any willing client toward optimal wellness. Wellness is not the opposite of sickness and never assumed-it must be pursued”.
