Why Alicia went into physical therapy
I have always been interested in human anatomy and the interaction of multiple systems to create movement. I wanted to pursue a career that would allow for lifelong learning of those interests combined with the ability to work with members of the community to encourage health and wellness.

Favorite advice to give patients
Favorite advice I give to my patients is that they must advocate for their health and their care. I want them to be involved and ask questions so they can learn and understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.
