He is trained in Active Rehabilitation for treatment of soft tissue and mechanical imbalances due to injuries from sports and work as well as poor ergonomics of repetitive motion.

Having a long time interest in sports and participating in many, such as swimming and biking, Dr. Stevens is especially focused on sports injuries and active recovery.
