In honor of National Physical Therapy Month, we are please to spotlight our newest physical therapist, Valarie Blanton:
Valarie has been a home health physical therapist for 21 years in South Carolina. She recently moved to the keys to live out her dream of living the island life. She has an undergraduate degree in public health from Clemson university, and a master's and doctorate degree in physical therapy from the medical university of South Carolina. After a lot of research, she decided to become a physical therapist because it combined her love of sports and medicine. She began her career in an outpatient orthopedic PT office and then fell in love with home health. “I love that home health incorporates the patient and family dynamic as a whole and not just treating the diagnosis.” In her spare time, she loves boating, fishing, scuba diving, and time with her Frenchies.
