Brienne is very passionate about helping patients return to the activities they love, empowering them to learn about how to move their bodies efficiently, and understand their injuries, rehab, and treatment plan. Brienne collaborates with patients to help them be involved in their rehabilitation plan, including organizing the frequency and volume of treatments that work best for their needs.
