\u201cI found my passion for physical therapy during my recovery at Walter Reed Medical Center after a tour in Iraq. After graduating with my DPT, I started my career in a post-acute rehabilitation facility. I knew I wanted to innovate the delivery of physical therapy services, so I founded Theralution<\/a>, a mobile physical therapy practice. The required Physical Therapy Management course at MU was a tremendous training ground for running a business. The class project took us through every step of starting your own practice from the ground up \u2013 a perfect foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: How have you used your Marymount DPT degree in your career?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A: I started my career in a post-acute rehabilitation facility, where after seeing some constraints in facility patient care, I quickly realized I wanted to innovate the delivery of physical therapy services. Toward that goal, I took a position with an orthopedic clinic to hone my clinic skills in orthopedic services. I started pursuing advanced certification in orthopedic specialization (OCS) and developing my concept of a roving PT practice. I felt I could dispel the notion that clients always had to go to the facility where the physical therapist works. A mobile practice meant I could work in a one-to-one customized care model with my clients in the comfort of their own environment \u2013 their home or work setting. I opened my practice part-time in 2013. By 2014, Theralution<\/a> was a full-time business in Northern Virginia.<\/p>\n

Q: What specific coursework at Marymount prepared you for the role of an entrepreneur?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A: \u00a0The required Physical Therapy Management course was a tremendous training ground for running a business. The class project took us through every step of starting your own practice from the ground up\u2013 a perfect foundation. Theralution<\/a>\u2019s professional care model is we go to our clients to\u00a0 assess and create custom-designed PT and fitness programs for recovery that get them back to where they were – back to work, or to their sport or fitness regimen, back to their lives. Our practice is family-centric for all ages, and if they want, clients can enjoy a concierge level of service, like 24\/7 support with \u201cOn-Call Therapist.\u201d Client education is critical. Our website has a \u201cNo Boundaries\u201d blog on nutrition, fitness, strengthening and injury prevention, and we also post how-to videos on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Q: Have you found ways to connect with Marymount since graduating? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

A: \u00a0Marymount instills a powerful sense of service in students. My class was the first to go to Costa Rica on medical missions, which was an inspiring and humbling experience. I was blessed to participate as one of the corporate sponsors of the MU 5K Race that raised funds for the Costa Rica missions. It was coming full circle for me \u2013 giving back to the school that helped me navigate my path to my life\u2019s calling. I see my mission is to evolve the field and techniques of rehabilitation, enrich lives through physical therapy and fitness, and serve others through humanitarian efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
