Rebecca

Physical Therapist, Owner, Mother, Endurance Athlete

Rebecca is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with nearly ten years’ experience working in private and hospital settings, and the owner of Core Values Physical Therapy and Wellness. Rebecca is an athlete, a mother and someone who has suffered with chronic pain for more than 12 years.

She started her own company because she was tired of her work being dictated by insurance companies, not by patients’ needs. At Core Values you will spend 100% of your time with Rebecca in a 55 minute session utilizing highly refined clinical reasoning supplemented by skilled exercise prescription and manual therapy. Rebecca utilizes a whole-body approach with considerations towards your mindset, goals, and personal needs. She will never tell you that you cannot run, do CrossFit, or play golf but rather will use her unique experiences and strong educational background to get you back to living your life and doing what you love.

Rebecca was born and raised in south Florida to an orthopedic surgeon father and a mother who’s a registered nurse. An athlete from a young age, she competed in a variety of sports and really excelled when she found water polo at the age of 14. She loved talking about medicine with her dad, was an intern at his office and shadowed him during surgery. From an early age she knew she wanted to combine her love for athletics with her love for medicine and decided to pursue physical therapy.

Rebecca graduated Cum Laude from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology in 2007. She then attended Boston University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program with a merit scholarship and graduated with honors in 2010.

She has spent the last 9 years working in both a private practice and a hospital outpatient setting with an emphasis on sports medicine, athletics, general orthopedics, chronic pain and post-op patients. Her work has always been rewarding but she always knew there was more she could do for her clients. At Core Values Rebecca is able to provide the patient experience she would want to have herself or for her own family.
