Paul, PTA

I originally graduated from Illinois State University in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. After working for a few years and realizing the business world was not where my passion was. I realized I wanted to do more to help people in ways that improve their movement and pain. I realized this passion came from having been through two bouts of physical therapy of my own to recover from ACL reconstructive surgery in each knee. Despite the difficult recovery each time, I was amazed at how the things I did in my physical therapy sessions helped me return to the things I enjoyed doing.

I decided to return to school to become a Physical Therapist Assistant and I received my licensure as a PTA after graduating from Harper College in 2021. I have gotten most of my experience in the outpatient setting and have worked with a wide range of patients. I am looking forward to improving my skills in helping patients improve their balance and I enjoy working with patients on their posture to help relieve discomfort.
