Prior to moving to Strive's Hamilton office, Kyle practiced in the New Hanover location for 2 years. He also participated in Strive's Orthopedic Mentorship Program in 2016. The mentorship program educated practitioners on the most current, evidence based research in the field of physical therapy, which results in the best possible care being provided to patients. Kyle is currently advancing his specialties to include treatment of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, as well as vestibular/concussion disorders.
Kayla graduated from Penn State University in 2013 with a B.S. in Kinesiology. While at Penn State Kayla was a member of the Women’s Club Gymnastics team and Women’s team captain. She has been competitive with gymnastics, snowboarding, and track and field. Her multiple sports related injuries sparked her interest in the physical therapy profession.
Kayla continued her education at Drexel University where she earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in April 2016.
