I graduated from USC with a Bachelors in Physical Therapy and then went back to USC for my Masters in Physical Therapy. However, my real education started in the clinical setting. I love the courage, spirit, tenacity, and independence of the senior nature, and your commitment to improve once facing a health problem. I think the very difficult times that you have lived through taught you something that no school could teach - how to fight and survive, even sometimes when you do not want to fight.Seniors just want one thing: to stay healthy in order to stay independent. When a health crisis does come, there is no other group of people who work as hard as seniors just to get better. Along the way I always hear a joke or a story, get a smile, and watch the senior encourage their fellow senior to keep working harder.Thank you for coming along on this journey. Let's get started!PT Sue
