Terry has been an orthopaedic Physiotherapist for more than 3 decades and has worked almost exclusively in private practice. He was drawn to the profession because of his fascination with the human body, his eagerness to continue learning and growing, and his dedication to helping others. His love of ‘lifelong learning’ has pushed his career toward teaching and he has a passion for mentoring students and motivated Physiotherapists.
When Terry isn’t at the clinic he can be found traveling with his wife and daughter (favorite trips were to Portugal and Italy). His recent travel highlight was seeing Taylor Swift in Los Angeles with his family. He can also be found playing, coaching and watching sports. His ‘all time’ sports memory was seeing a no-hitter at Fenway Park in Boston.
