Joan Stassel, MSPT
I love my work! I feel so rewarded by helping people alleviate their pain and increase their activity tolerance to be able to do their daily and recreational activities. I strive to empower my patients to integrate exercise and mobility into their lives and to enable them to meet their goals.
