Seeing how she was able to help me was truly inspiring and I can't wait to have this effect on the lives of my patients."

      "While treating patients on a daily basis motivated me to become a Physical Therapist, I find my own personal joy now later in my career by being able to stay active and fit alongside my patients. I see other people my age in bad physical shape and I feel very fortunate that I'm able to hop on an exercise bike or a yoga mat next to my patients each and every day."
