Physical Therapy

Our faculty is dedicated to helping our students build careers in preventing, examining and providing interventions for clients with movement dysfunction due to injury or disease. Our graduates earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy and they progress through a challenging curriculum with topics in critical thinking, systems review, diagnostic procedures and care throughout the lifetime.

Physical Therapy

The students graduate with an overall pass rate of 99 percent on the licensing exam and have provided exceptional service to people in need across Texas and the United States since 1980. Our physical therapists are experts at preventing, examining and treating patients with movement disorders due to neurologic, musculoskeletal or cardiopulmonary dysfunction.

Faculty & Staff

Why do I teach? “Though I am a clinician at heart, I have realized that in the clinical setting, I was always teaching and that I continue to do so. Sharing and exchanging information for improvement of oneself and others is the essence of teaching, and I feel that I am a natural teacher, as I do this all the time. Teaching is my 'raison d'être.'” Catherine Ortega
