“I played college basketball in the 1980s, and during that time, I tore my ACL—a serious injury that required surgery and a lengthy recovery. With limited access to formal physical therapy, I had to take much of the rehab into my own hands. That experience sparked a deep interest in the rehabilitation process and showed me the impact PT can have. It ultimately led me to pursue a career where I could help others recover and reach their full potential.”
