This certification recognizes Dr. Schuetze’s advanced knowledge, skills, and experience in the practice of orthopedic physical therapy and in the management of persistent pain. Following a year-long orthopedic residency program, Dr. Schuetze completed an intense application and examination process to earn his OCS from the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS).

This has allowed me to confidently treat patients using the best interventions available.”
