Jacob’s professional areas of interest include low back, sacroiliac joint, shoulder, hip/knee/ankle, and forearm/elbow. Jacob likes to educate his patients about the purpose and benefits of maintaining good posture, both statically and dynamically and during any position or movement.

New to Southern Oregon in late 2015, Jacob enjoys exploring new terrain, especially Mount Ashland with his snowboard. Jacob also enjoys walking, skateboarding, wakeboarding, hiking, backpacking, and swimming. Music is also an interest of Jacob’s. He likes to play guitar, ukulele, and djembe. He admits, however, that he is better suited to listening than to performing.
