We each have been given only one life to live. I believe that a fulfilled life is embodied by total well-being that is spiritual, mental and physical. Physical therapy provides a means to restore one with renewed health and vitality. If I can be a part of helping others in their journey to achieving total well-being, I will have accomplished much towards obtaining my own fulfillment.
