About Us
My name is Courtney Wallace and I have been practicing Physical Therapy for 22 years in a variety of settings. I realized quickly my love for working with the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) population and the need for therapists in this area is growing. I’m looking for like- minded PTs to join my team in helping people who have suffered a TBI successfully reintegrate back into their communities.
