My Photo
I am a licensed Physical and Manual Therapist and a Board Certified Clinical Associate with the American Academy of Pain Management. I have a private practice in Lafayette, Louisiana. It was in August of 1988 that I moved from The Netherlands. I hope this site will prove to be a useful resource to both health-care professionals and the general public. Maybe you are looking for information about Pain Management, Physical and Manual Therapy, or perhaps searching for ways to deal with the pain you, or a loved one, experiences; whatever the reason for your visit, I hope you will find my site informative, interesting and thought provoking.
