| | SPOTLIGHT - Greg | | WHERE ARE YOU FROM? Richmond, VA HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH WSPT? I just joined in May 2019! I was practicing in Virginia prior to that. WHERE DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE? WHAT DID YOU STUDY? Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond - Doctorate of Physical Therapy FAVORITE SONG CURRENTLY? "Come With Us" by Lindsey Stirling. FAVORITE THING TO DO WHEN I'M NOT WORKING : Anything on the water! I love to paddle board, kayak, water ski, wakeboard. I'm hoping to pick up surfing soon. I also play ultimate frisbee, which I played on a college club team. WHY I LOVE WSPT: The culture of the company is amazing! WSPT really stresses professional development and continued growth because everybody wants the clients to have the best possible experience. We want you to get better in a hurry. It's been a wonderful fit and somewhere I hope to stay a long time. WHY I LOVE PHYSICAL THERAPY: The interpersonal relationships you make with your clients. There is nothing more rewarding to me than when I help get a client back to something he or she couldn't do prior to starting PT. Helping keep people active and moving efficiently resonates with me. WHY I WANTED TO BE A PT: I shadowed a PT in college after my mom tore her ACL and something clicked. It felt like a natural environment to work in and was immediately comfortable. The relationship PTs make with their clients is unique compared to other members of the medical community. HOW I WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL AFTER THEY SEE ME: The perfect thing to hear after an appointment is that a client feels better, is confident that his or her symptoms are improving, and feels the intensity was appropriately difficult. WORDS OF WISDOM TO PATIENTS: PT is different in that it's not a magical pill that you take once a day or a one time surgery. It takes dedication, consistency, and some self efficacy. But the short and long-term effects are all positive and it can lead to lifetime improvements. It's worth the effort. A QUOTE THAT MOTIVATES YOU: Why do we fall, Bruce?
