About Us

Yves is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). He earned his undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology with a concentration in Athletic Training from Towson University in the year 2000. He then proceeded to a graduate degree in 2005, in the specialty of Physical Therapy from SUNY Downstate Medical University in Brooklyn, New York.

Yves is a certified Balance and Fall Prevention Specialist. He is a certified Dry Needling Specialist, Industrial Rehabilitation Specialist, as well as a Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES), through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).  

Yves has worked as a Physical Therapist over the past 18 years. He began his career working at the Johns Hopkins Bayview- Outpatient Physical Therapy department, with a focus on neurology. At that time, his primary patients included individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), spinal cord disorders, concussion injuries, and balance disorders. He then worked for two years as a Contract Physical Therapist for Aberdeen Proving Grounds - US Military Base in Harford County, caring for mostly soldiers with various physical injuries. In 2011, Yves joined a locally owned physical therapy company, where he excelled in the Clinic Manager role for the Baltimore City office. After just three years, he was promoted to the position of Area Manager, overseeing eight physical therapy clinics within the company.

In June 2022, Yves opened the doors to his very own clinic in Baltimore City.

Yves has made it his mission to improve the health and wellness of individuals throughout the Baltimore region. He conducts classes on fall prevention strategies and balance improvement to avoid otherwise preventable injuries in the aging population. Besides providing excellent care to patients across the age spectrum and with various physical injuries, Yves conducts classes for certified coaches, on an ongoing basis, in the care and prevention of injuries within sports programs across Baltimore and the surrounding areas. He has spent 10 years working alongside coaches and athletes from Baltimore Polytechnic High School and various other schools in the area, to promote consistently elite-performing athletes and to develop injury prevention strategies for these youth athletes.

Yves believes strongly in volunteerism and giving back, both locally and internationally. In his capacity as a physical therapist, he has travelled to Honduras on more than one occasion, through his affiliation with Doctors Without Borders (OCHO Chapter) where he served on the board for 2 years, to provide care to populations who needed those services, but were unable to afford them.

One of his greatest professional achievements and source of pride, besides opening his very own physical therapy clinic, has been helping countless youth athletes succeed in their respective sport of choice over the years. Another has been mentoring several young minority men and women, who have graduated from high school and followed in his footsteps, by becoming physical therapists in the community as well.

When not working, Yves enjoys powerlifting classes, self-defense classes (Shorin- Ryu karate) that he does with his two beautiful daughters, as well as taking trips, hiking, and spending quality time with his amazing wife.
