Olaf’s mission is to help his patients achieve optimal function. He improves his patients’ quality of life and overall health by treating and resolving their pain.

Besides physical therapy, Olaf enjoys spending time with his children, mountain biking, telemark skiing and playing chess. Olaf’s knowledge and compassion for helping others with their pain and disabilities has successfully returned many people back to their active lifestyles.
