Episode Synopsis

“I began my career as a teacher, and then started working as a personal trainer and PT Tech in an outpatient clinic. I enjoyed working with patients, seeing them come into our office in pain and leave in such a better place. I wanted to be the person responsible for helping them feel that way. In 2020, the gym in which I was managing, and training closed due to Covid, and I had an opportunity to go back to school to finally become a PTA. I sold my house in Georgia and moved back to Pennsylvania and last October I graduated from Central Penn College, passed my board exam in January 2022, and am currently working with Pivot Physical Therapy in Mechanicsburg, PA.” - Melissa Chase, PTA
