Who or what inspired you to get into the physical therapy space?
Prior to working for ARCPT+ I worked in Human Resources for a company who used ARC PT+ for a variety of employer related services (POET, PT/OT, etc). I was able to see firsthand how the care and attention to detail not only benefited the employer but also the injured worker. ensuring that people were well taken care of during their injury and were able to return to work.
