Master of Physical Therapy

Shannon received her Bachelors of Arts from the University of California, Irvine in 1991 and later earned her Masters of Physical Therapy in 1998 from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, Ca. She became familiar with physical therapy as a teenager while playing high school soccer and running track and field and sustaining several sports-related injuries herself. It felt natural for her to continue on a path of learning to recover and helping others do the same. 

She is a seasoned physical therapist and her extensive expertise lies in orthopedics and sports medicine, where she has excelled in addressing complex spine issues, shoulder dysfunctions and lower extremity impairments. In pursuit of continuous improvement, she stays at the forefront of the advancements in her field by attending numerous continuing education courses. 

She treats her patients not only with a solid skill set but also with compassion, dedication and the mindset that everyone is on a different journey in their recovery. She enjoys helping her patients discover their personal goals in therapy and return to their lives and activities pain free. Recovery does not always happen overnight but it will happen over time. 

Outside of the clinic, Shannon is an outdoor enthusiast and is an avid road bike cyclist, enjoys hiking, learning new recipes and is an absolute animal lover to her core. However, beyond her professional and personal accomplishments she is most proud of her two adult sons and the lives they are embarking on and believes motherhood to be her greatest accomplishment.
