A Diverse Background
Gavin spent 9 years in the music business in New York City writing music and producing records. The bridge between these two careers was an ongoing dedication to the martial art know as Tai Chi. Gavin’s interest in physical therapy grew out of his application of Tai Chi to musculoskeletal problems. Gavin currently teaches Tai Chi at the Wellspring School for Asian Body Work in Boise. He also conducts fitness and injury prevention workshops for both the US Forest Service and Boise Fire Departments. When Gavin is not in the clinic he enjoys playing music, skiing, kiteboarding and spending time with his wife and daughter.
