Rachael Jones, DPT – Encore Rehabilitation Regional Director

Rachel Jones PT

Rachael Jones is passionate about her patients! “The best thing about being a Physical Therapist is my patients! As a Physical Therapist, I spend one-on-one time with each patient over a period of weeks and often months. I not only educate, facilitate, and assist in their healing, but I also get to know patients on a personal level. I meet their families and hear their struggles. I am honored to watch their success. I am privileged to experience the joy when they walk again, return to sports, return to work, gain their independence and when they are finally pain-free. I am thankful for my role as physical therapist and consider it a great honor.”

A native of Guin, Alabama, Rachael is the Regional Director of the Encore Rehabilitation Clinics in Fayette, Vernon, Hamilton, and Winfield. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from The University of Mississippi and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. Rachael also holds a certification in Dry Needling.  She has been a clinician for seven years and has practiced with Encore Rehabilitation for five years.

Thank you, Rachael, for all that you do for your patients and Encore Rehabilitation!

Natalie Ayers PTRevised

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!
