Therapist Spotlight

Donna Brath-Sowell, PT

What can I say, I Love my Career! I have been a Physical Therapist for over 30 years. I was born and lived in New York until I was 16 years old. My Dad was transferred to Houston, Texas in 1970. I finished High School in Houston and then went to UT in Austin. I continued my education at UT Health Science Center in Dallas for P.T. School and graduated in 1976. I have worked in Houston, Richmond, Round Rock, and Austin.
I began my career at Methodist Hospital in Houston. I was given the position to handle all the Pro-Athletes that were admitted from the Astros, Oilers, and Aeros. What a GREAT Job that was, but then I was given an opportunity that led to my ‘true calling’. I started working with Handicapped Children. I have also worked in an Orthopedic Doctors Clinic, at a State School (where I started a Hippotherapy Program, horseback riding therapy), in Outpatient Clinics, and even taught at Austin Community College for the PTA Program. I have worked at Reavis Rehab for almost 5 years now. Reavis Rehab Clinic has shown me that there are still caring people out in the world. It’s a Family run business and they ‘Care’ about each and every Patient, like they are “Family.” All of the Staff are well educated, professional, and very caring individuals. At Reavis Rehab, I am able to continue with providing therapy to Children and Adults on land and in my favorite place, the ‘Water’. And when I’m not at the Clinic, I enjoy traveling, especially to beaches and scuba diving.
