Gene is Russian born and a long time resident of Seattle. He received his Bachelors of Science degree from Western Washington University in 2000 and his Masters in Physical Therapy from Eastern Washington University in 2003.  Gene has a specific interest in manual therapy and has taken classes through the University of St. Augustine in the Stanley Paris Technique. Gene is also fully ART certified and routinely powerlifts.

Gene believes his greatest role as a physical therapist is to empower his patients with the tools and the education they need to continue the healing process away from the clinic. The greatest success is achieved when the patient no longer has to rely on the therapist.
