Bio
I've been a physical therapist (PT) for 19 years. Worked in all different settings: Acute care, inpatient rehab, home health, hospice care, outpatient clinic, telehealth, and I've run my own concierge practice.
As a yoga therapist and PT I've been able to help those see a new perspective around their pain. Not to expect a pain-free life, but to relish a life that exists in the presence of pain---because we will all experience it at some point.
But now, I've chosen a new path. I wanted to serve the underserved, and I wanted something unique.
Working at a prison was not something I thought possible. But it is. There are a small world of PT's doing just that. But if you search out there to find information on the experience, you won't find much. I found several sites about nursing for the incarcerated, but the PT landscape was bleak.
So, it's with this intention that I began to share the stories here. A source to inform those who are curious and have questions and provide them a place to land. Please share if you know someone who might be interested.
