I honed my specialized skills in the early 1990's directly on Broadway's finest dancers and principal actors, namely Denise Faye, who mentored me inch by inch through her amazing athletic dancer body during my employment as therapist on Swinging On A Star. I was given my own Broadway office at the Eugene O'Neill Theater at Grease! Live On Stage in 1993, where all of the Broadway dancers would visit for their injuries. I became known as the guy with the hands. My focus was pit-stop therapy to get them back on stage during that performance. By the mid-90's, I was one of only four premier dance manual therapists attending EVERY musical theatre show on Broadway and specializing in soft-tissue performance injuries; 46 musicals and dramas in all.
