Thank you Evelyn Delgado, PT, DPT (2020) and Movement For Life on Pacific Ave. for mentoring Jon and Rafael on their recent Fall Fridays experience!

Rafael says, "I am very appreciative to Dr. Evelyn Delgado for being very open with sharing her knowledge and perspective as a DPT.

As National Physical Therapy Month/Employee Ownership Month comes to a close, we couldn't be more thrilled to introduce you to Daniel McPherson!

Over the last year, Daniel has been working as a PTA in Atascadero, studying in the hybrid DPT program at USC, and volunteering with the SLO Aero clinic for preseason sports screens at Cal Poly. In addition, he's been working on his own research on the upper extremities utilizing BlazePods as part of the return-to-sport assessments. Most recently his abstract has been accepted for presentation as a platform at CSM in Boston. He will present on Measuring Force In Patients with RC Tendinopathy.

We're proud to have him on our team and can't wait to see his research presented!

Meet our incredible Credentialing Manager, Tanja Hooper! 🌟

Tanja is the living embodiment of our 'movement for life' philosophy. She's not just a manager— she's a motivator and a mover of mountains. During her first Spartan, she was "tricked" into running the largest race called "The Beast" instead of a smaller race she thought she signed up for. Note to reader: she does not consider herself a runner. Finishing this race inspired her to push harder and try again. Since that first race, Tanja has successfully completed 12 more races including 3 "Trifecta Weekends." Join us in celebrating Tanja and the incredible work she does, day in and day out.

In the spirit of National Physical Therapy Month and Employee Ownership Month, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on our very own Sarah Bailey from the Candler clinic!

She is a highly dedicated PT who goes above and beyond, both in and out of the clinic. Outside of work, she is a wilderness first responder and also works part-time as a manager for an ice cream shop that employs disabled adults.
