Wichita EastWho or what inspired you to get into the physical therapy space?

My undergrad internship was at a physical therapy facility. My co-worker/clinical instructor used to work at ARC Physical Therapy and told me all about the company. The internship opened my eyes to a new and different way to help people improve their health. I had been a personal trainer prior to my internship so I was working on improving the health of my clients, but in a fitness role.
