Therapist Spotlight

Trisha Wade, PT, DPT

I grew up in McMinnville, Oregon, but I have lived in a variety of places for both school and work, including: California, Washington, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. I moved to Austin in 2008 and cannot imagine living anywhere else. Austin is great because it combines all of my favorite attributes from the previous cities I have lived into one truly unique city.

Working as a Physical Therapist is actually my second career. Before I returned to school for Physical Therapy in 2005, I worked as a Certified Athletic Trainer in the training rooms at Central Washington University and The Colorado College. During this time I worked with a variety of sports teams including: soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball, football, and track & field. I also spent a season as the Head Athletic Trainer for the Erie Freeze arena football team in Erie, Pennsylvania.

After working for several years with intercollegiate athletes I wanted to further my education and decided to return to school to become a Physical Therapist. During my final clinical rotation for school I came to Austin for twelve weeks to work at a pediatric clinic. While there I fell in love with both Austin and working in pediatrics. Although I work with a variety of patients, pediatrics is my first love. I have experience working with children of all ages, birth to eighteen years and a variety of diagnoses including: torticollis, plagiocephaly, developmental delay, cystic fibrosis, autism, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Down syndrome, just to name a few. I also have over three years of aquatic therapy experience and find that it’s a great adjunct therapy for children, they find movement in the heated pool very freeing and have a fun time splashing around as well.

In my free time I enjoy cycling, training for triathlons, traveling, ballet, and exploring all Austin and the surrounding hill country has to offer.
