Why did you become a Physical Therapist?
I chose to become a physical therapist to help people restore their function and resume doing the various activities they enjoy doing, from helping an individual return to full participation in their favorite sport to helping an individual be able to crawl on the ground with their grandchildren. Additionally, I want to help people develop a greater understanding for the benefits of exercise and physical activity to further improve one’s health and wellness.
