Sean opened Birch Tree Physical Therapy and Wellness, LLC, in 2019 with the goal of providing quality, one-on-one care to reduce and prevent musculoskeletal pain symptoms for clients in the greater Baltimore area.

In addition to treating patients directly, Sean has presented workshops and lectures throughout the region on repetitive stress injuries for performing artists, as well as on physical therapy techniques for the treatment of TMD. Sean’s interest in the treatment of performing arts and other occupational injuries stems from his experience as a professional button accordion player; recent performances have included the Grand Ole Opry, The Kennedy Center, and Birdland Jazz Club NYC, along with numerous bluegrass, folk, and Irish music festivals. He currently performs with the Baltimore-based acoustic roots quartet Charm City Junction.
