Getting back to business! Next in the spotlight is our PTA, 🏵 Hollie Maltese 🏵 !

Hollie shared that she chose to become a PTA after witnessing the benefits her family members received from physical therapy. “I’ve always worked in customer service, but I wanted a career where I could make a more meaningful impact. It’s rewarding to see patients’ excitement when they achieve their goals.” She specializes in orthopedic conditions with a strong background in Hip and Knee replacements. ⚕️

In her free time, Hollie enjoys reading books on books via kindle, watching movies with her furry sidekick 🐾Lacey🦴, scrapbooking, and going to board game nights with her family and friends. Some of that time is also spent on cruises with her husband! “I’ve been cruising through life with my husband Nick since 2003.” Hollie shared “We were fortunate to go on a cruise this year where we encountered several whales off the coast of Mexico.” 🛳

Leave a comment with your favorite board game to see if Hollie recognizes it!🃏

Next in the spotlight is one of our PTAs:
🎉Joanne Yono!🎉

Joanne shared that she chose to become a PTA to help patients regain mobility, improve their quality of life, and return to the activities they enjoy. She strives to see her patients become pain free and regain their confidence. She specializes in orthopedics, pediatric therapy, and she also co-treats pelvic floor cases. Along with that she has a Craniosacral Therapy I (CS1) certification.🩺

In her free time, Joanne goes to pilates classes, enjoys baking, reading, and spending time with her family and friends. Some of that time was spent in Italy on her honeymoon with her husband. She shared that while in Italy she felt more connected to her Catholic faith. 

One of Joanne’s goals for this year is to read two books a month. 📚

First introduction of many! Check it out!
🍀Melissa Thompson, PT, DPT🍀

I was inspired to become a Physical Therapist during my experience as a volunteer in high school at the outpatient and in-patient Physical Therapy departments at the hospital where my mother worked. During my time there, I was able to witness patients progress and be able to achieve their goals and return to their previous level of function.

My goal as a physical therapist is to work together with patients to not only achieve their goals but to also incorporate strategies and exercises to manage their symptoms and prevent further exacerbations in the future. I specialize in treating pediatrics, women and men’s health conditions that can include pelvic floor dysfunction, and Parkinson’s Disease. I have certifications in Pelvic Floor 1 and 2B, McKenzie Part A, LSVT BIG, and Blood Flow Restriction (BFR). 📈

I enjoy watching anime, working out and spending time with my husband, 2 sons and 2 cats.
Sailor Moon is my absolute favorite, I also like Sword Art Online.

One thing I would like to do this year is go on as many vacations with my family as possible! 🔥
