I have been very excited about this interview for quite some time with Dr. Mary Frances Roebuck PT, DPT. Mary Frances is a PT in New York City and works with dancers!

One thing I love about the field of physical therapy is that there are so many areas one can focus on and specialize in. I chose travel therapy because I wasn’t sure what setting I wanted to be in, but I didn’t even think of all the areas I could potentially specialize in as well!…
