More about Abigail

What is your primary clinical interest/passion?

My primary interest/passion is working with people with Parkinson's disease and balance issues! I have an LSVT BIG certification to work with people with Parkinson's disease as well. I am willing to work with anyone though and am honored to be a part of their journey.

What do you enjoy about Professional Rehab Associates?

I love professional rehab associates and am grateful to be a part of the team! They are one of the largest outpatient physical therapy facilities I have seen in southwest Virginia and have unique equipment to utilize with many patients. There is so much opportunity to have a lot of fun in therapy!

Do you have further clinical plans for growth for you or the business?

I plan on continuing my education and may complete more certifications in the future, but I want to know the needs in the community prior to choosing.

What experience do you have? (i.e., years, training, focus, certification)

I did 3 12-week rotations and just graduated with my DPT in August 2024 from Emory and Henry University. I am LSVT certified and have done continuing education specifically for runners.
