Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by using evidence-based kinesiology, electrotherapy, shockwave modality, exercise prescription, joint mobilization and health education, treats conditions such as chronic or acute pain, soft tissue injuries, cartilage damage, arthritis, gait disorders, and physical impairments typically of musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, neurological, and endocrinological origins. Physical therapy is used to improve a patient’s physical functions through physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis, physical intervention, rehabilitation, and patient education. It is practiced by physical therapists (known as physiotherapists in many countries).

A native South Texan, Dr. Smith has a love for quality time with family, friends, and the great outdoors. She enjoys spending her time out of the clinic with her spouse and rescue dog, Georgie, exploring new sites around town, and soaking up the sun. She also enjoys cycling, shopping, doing projects around the house, and spending weekends at the lake.
