Celina Mashburn P.T.A.

“I grew up participating in competitive sports; my strong athletic background and passion for people have led me to the profession of Physical Therapy. I enjoy working with patients because it allows me to develop my natural ability in building relationships. As a clinician, I strive to build patient trust where optimal care can be achieved. I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of physical therapy settings, ranging from intensive care units (ICU) to orthopedic clinics. My clinical strength and passion lies with upper extremity care, also known as Hand Therapy. I enjoy the intricate details involved with caring for the shoulder, elbow and hand. Being exposed to multiple clinical settings has allowed me to truly understand how the body works and heals and that each patient may respond differently to treatment. I value the challenges that come with this career. One of the most important qualities for any individual is the ability to believe in oneself. If you have confidence in yourself, and in your profession, you will succeed.”
