He attended St. Louis University for both undergraduate and graduate school where he was admitted into their accelerated physical therapy program, receiving his doctorate in just 6 years. Josh focuses on sports injuries, general orthopedics, and joint replacements. He has had the opportunity to treat patients of all ages including high school, college, and professional athletes.

Josh emphasizes patient education and believes a patient performs best and enjoys physical therapy the most when they are fully aware of how and why their impairments may be causing pain or discomfort. Josh also believes in yearly screens for all individuals because the best way to treat an impairment is to catch it before it happens.
