Meet the Team
Jeffrey S. Faust MPT
Physical Therapist, Clinical Director
Jeffrey S. Faust MPT
Physical Therapist, Clinical Director“When I was 15 years old, I broke my ankle while playing baseball and had to undergo surgery. After experiencing the many benefits of postsurgical rehabilitation firsthand, I knew that I wanted to become a physical therapist. I went on to earn my undergraduate degree in health and physical education and my master’s degree in physical therapy.
Today, I offer you over 20 years of clinical experience along with today’s most advanced therapies to relieve your pain or to help you heal from injury or surgery. I find it personally and professionally rewarding to be able to help improve a patient’s function and overall quality of life with gentle, hands-on methods.
What’s more, I believe that patient-centered care can make all the difference in the world. I will take the time to listen to your concerns, discuss your condition, and explain your treatment options. I will also encourage you to take an active role in your recovery, because this can help expedite the healing process.”
