At Cooper, our physical therapists work in a variety of teams with each team providing treatment focused on a specialty population. Throughout the month of October – Physical Therapy month — we’ll be highlighting different team members so you can get to know them and understand their role.

While he has mainly been in an outpatient orthopaedic setting, he has experience treating a variety of musculoskeletal disorders, trauma injuries, and neurological diseases. Nick is also a Certified LSVT BIG Clinician which is a specialized program for treating Parkinson’s disease.
