Richard Rodriguez P.T.A.

“My introduction to Physical Therapy came after suffering many football injuries in my early/younger years. The severe pain I was left with caused me to undergo my own back surgery and rehabilitation. The knowledge I gained through my own experience led me to my present career as a Physical Therapist Assistant.

“Prior to joining Maximum Impact, I worked at an acute care hospital. I had the pleasure of working with patients who underwent orthopedic surgery for a variety of reasons/ conditions.

"My ability to listen and truly relate to my patients is one of my biggest assets. Returning patients to the activities they enjoy most at home, work, and play as quickly as possible remains my top priority. Educating and empowering my patients to help prevent them from re-injury is a gift I always enjoy giving.”
