At Active Health the medical and the rehabilitation side of a case are handled by people who work in the same building and read the same notes. That is what the roster below is for. A stubborn shoulder does not get handed between practices, because the physical therapist, the rehabilitation staff and Dr. Lipp are all down one hallway.
Each profile below states what that person trained in and where. If you have been referred to a name here, their page carries their background in full.

How the Team Works a Case
Teamwork is the foundation of the practice. Providers collaborate across disciplines so a patient gets coordinated care through every stage of recovery and prevention, rather than a set of separate opinions that never meet.
Every case starts the same way, with a history and a movement assessment rather than a protocol. Which member of the team leads from there depends on what that assessment finds. The whole roster works out of the physical therapy clinic on Bowden Road, so moving between the medical and the rehabilitation side of a plan does not need a new referral.
