Encore Rehabilitation Clinical Director Natalie Ayres, PT, DPT, CKTP, Cert DN, is happy to celebrate National Physical Therapy Month. Natalie says, “The best thing about being a Physical Therapist is being able to help people get back to doing the things in life that give them joy! Musculoskeletal dysfunction cannot only take away a person’s independence but can cause pain resulting in someone having to give up doing the things they love.”

Natalie knows all about helping others return to an active life. She has been a Physical Therapist for 9 years and has been with Encore Rehabilitation for 3 years. In addition to receiving her Bachelors in Science (Human Performance) from the University of Alabama and her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Alabama – Birmingham, Natalie is Certified in Dry Needling and is a Certified Kinesio Tape Practitioner. Natalie is the Clinical Director for Encore Rehabilitation in Vernon and Fayette, Alabama.

Natalie continues, “The look on someone’s face when they realize that they can care for themselves, their family, their home, or return to work or sports, garden, shop, etc. without assistance or pain is priceless. I love having the opportunity to be a part of improving a person’s quality of life.”

Thank you Natalie for all you do! Happy National Physical Therapy Month!

At Encore Rehabilitation, we LOVE to see you move!
