Scott Heinlein, P.T.
How I think…
“Whether you swim for fitness and fun, or you swim for competition, I can help you reach your goals. I’ve helped swimmers reach their goals of getting faster, earning college scholarships, competing at the National and/or International levels, and even competing in the Olympic games. “
How can I help you?
Over my years of practice, I have seen the frustration of people when they are injured and unable to do what they love to do. I have shared in that frustration, especially when the person has seen many health professionals without improvement before coming to Lifestrength Physical Therapy of Towson, MD.
Sometimes the improvements you seek are much simpler to attain than you have realized. Sometimes the improvements take a longer time, but knowing what to expect and having a clear path to reaching your goals are paramount to the success of your program. It’s much easier to stay faithful to your program when you understand the process, are a part of the decision-making process, and begin experiencing your improvements quickly.
