He is currently completing the Saint Francis University Sports Residency program, after which he will be relocating to Salem in August.

Sports have been an integral part of Logan’s life, and his desire to work with athletes has been the primary driver that led him to the field of Sports Physical Therapy. Logan grew up playing basketball, baseball, and golf; and is an avid Philadelphia sports fan (Go Birds!). During his college career, Logan suffered a pair of ACL injuries which led to his strong passion for rehabilitating ACLR patients and for educating athletes about the latest knee a

Other special interests include promoting injury prevention/movement conditioning for youth athletes, return to sport following concussion, and the treatment of basketball players and the overhead athlete. His treatment philosophy centers around empowering athletes to learn how enhance their sport specific performance and bullet proof their bodies to prevent future injuries.
