About Me

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, having earned my degree from the University of Montana with a major in Rehabilitation Administration. As a Registered Physiotherapist and ABA Therapist licensed in the Philippines, UAE, United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia, I specialize in Pelvic Floor Therapy and Pediatric Rehabilitation. I strongly believe that effective rehabilitation extends beyond addressing physical issues—it requires understanding the underlying factors influencing a patient’s behavior. By fostering active participation in their recovery, we not only accelerate treatment but also empower patients to achieve long-term health and well-being.
In 2016, my colleague and I founded Motions Venture Physiotherapy Inc,[1] in the Philippines. Over the years, we have expanded nationwide, serving communities across Luzon and Visayas. Our clinic specializes in Musculoskeletal and Pain Management, Scoliosis Rehabilitation (Schroth Therapy and SpineCor Bracing), Pelvic Floor Therapy, and Pediatric Therapy (CME Therapy).
My Role in Physiopedia
As one of the many Physiopedia Managers, I have the privilege of managing a platform with over 5,000 pages and 2 million visitors each month. My focus is on ensuring that the content is not only accurate and up-to-date but also reflects the latest evidence in the field. This includes a wide range of topics, from musculoskeletal and pain management to pelvic health and pediatric rehabilitation.
I’m fortunate to work alongside an amazing team of physiotherapists from around the world who volunteer their time to help advance Physiopedia’s mission of promoting global access to physiotherapy knowledge. Their passion and dedication inspire me every day as we strive to make a real difference in the lives of millions.
Being part of this journey has deepened my appreciation for how critical accurate, evidence-based information is in empowering patients and professionals alike. I’m grateful to contribute to such a meaningful cause, especially as we expand the reach of pelvic health education and other important therapy areas. It’s truly a rewarding experience that keeps me motivated and connected to an inspiring global community.
