Physical Therapist
FYZICAL Buffalo Grove

Hi Everyone! My name is Rima. I received my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a minor in Spanish from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I decided to pursue physical therapy because I’ve always wanted to help people and I was originally considering teaching.
 
I found physical therapy through a kinesiology course I took in undergrad and thought what better way to combine those two things! I love getting to teach people about their bodies and promoting health through movement. My favorite saying is “movement is medicine!”. I’m very excited to learn more about treating balance disorders and moving into a neurological direction in my career. Some fun facts about me: I love traveling and used to spend a month of every year outside of the country growing up. I learned Spanish in school and know Arabic from speaking with my family! I also love swimming and used to swim in high school.
