Happy Monday, Fountain Hills! This week’s Monday Member Spotlight is on Spooner & Shaft Physical Therapy, as they have hired two new therapists to their team. Check out below for more information on each new therapist:
Tyson Lowrance, PT, DPT
Prior to becoming a physical therapist, Tyson worked as a physical therapy technician for four years in St. Louis, Missouri. During this time, he had two hip surgeries, which gave him the interesting perspective of what it was like to be a patient. Tyson came to appreciate the bedside manner from the Physical Therapists that he worked with, as well as the high level of care that was delivered to him. Today, Tyson has taken what he learned from those experiences and strives make each patient’s experience enjoyable and productive.
Overall, Tyson’s philosophy on health and therapy is that normal movement and exercise are great forms of rehabilitation and preventative healthcare. His goal with every patient is to get them moving and return them to their prior level of functional and the activities that they enjoy. Tyson attempts to always do his best and learn from each person, patient, and experience, so that he can always be a better physical therapist moving forward.
