Patty has been a licensed and practicing Physical Therapist since 1988. She has her doctorate degree in Physical Therapy with her main focus in sports medicine/orthopedic. She currently works in an outpatient clinic in Worcester County and teaches in the doctorate of Physical therapy program at the Massachusetts College Of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
She has a love for sports and is an avid hiker, backpacker, camper, skier, biker, kayaker, and snow shoer. Through this love of outdoor activities and the search for a form of exercise to keep herself injury free, she discovered yoga over 20 years ago. Feeling the benefits in her own body she began incorporating Yoga into her Physical Therapy practice and uses it as a tool to treat patients. This combination has been successful and has helped many patients over the years. This inspired her to attain her teaching certification so that she may reach people before they need her Physical Therapy services.
She attained her 200 hour Yoga certification at the State of Grace Yoga studio in Uxbridge, MA. Prevention of injury is her passion. She believes keeping the mind, body, and spirit in balance brings health and well-being.
