He continues to consult with doctoral physical therapy programs nationally for their accreditation and remains a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists and member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association as well as the American Association of Clinical Anatomists.

Dr. Woods’ mission is to provide unparalleled, high quality musculoskeletal physiotherapy services in partnership with the patient while placing their needs and values at the center of the experience. “Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of the high intention, since effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternative.” – William A.
