Clyde received his BS in Zoology from the University of Washington, and went on to Loma Linda University, where he received his Master’s in Physical Therapy. Clyde’s treatment is patient focused placing a large emphasis in givingpatients the tools to help them work towards independence. His interests lie in sports injury extremity rehabilitation and cervical spine conditions. In October of 2002, he received his certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) from the NSCA. Clyde has completed Level I in NAIOMT. His commitment to furthering his education and progressing his clinical
prowess has led him to attend continuing education courses with a focus on the evaluation and treatment of the knee and shoulder, as well as soft tissue technique courses. He also participated in a conference hosted by the (BTA) Baseball Trainer’s Association, which focused in the care and treatment of the throwing shoulder.
Clyde was born in Santiago, Chile before his family moved to Walla Walla,
Washington. He speaks fluent Spanish which can be quite helpful with Spanish speaking patients and with expressing patients concerns and needs to their respective physicians. He is a devoted New York Yankee fan despite pressure from Mariners fans. Do not be surprised to find Clyde at Willows Run or many of the neighboring golf courses on his days off, as he is an avid golfer.
