We loved having Peyton join us for her clinical rotation! It’s always a pleasure to work with the next generation of Physical Therapists, share our experience, and learn from them along the way.

3rd DPT Student Highlight ⭐

From the classroom to the clinic, Peyton Farmer is putting her knowledge into practice during her terminal clinical experience at High Desert Physical Therapy in Cortez, Colorado.

Working in outpatient physical therapy, Peyton is gaining valuable hands-on experience while strengthening her clinical skills through direct patient care. Each day brings new opportunities to build confidence, expand her knowledge, and apply evidence-based practice in a real-world clinical setting.

Under guidance from her Clinical Instructor, Peyton continues to grow both personally and professionally as she prepares for a successful career as a physical therapist. Her dedication and passion for patient care are helping shape the clinician she is becoming.

We're excited to watch Peyton continue to grow throughout her clinical experience and can't wait to see the impact she'll make in the profession. Keep up the amazing work, Peyton! ❤️🖤

We are so glad to see snow back in the forecast. Here are some things to keep in mind when shoveling snow this season!

Snow shoveling is a repetitive activity that can cause muscle strain to the lower back and shoulders. A few precautions can help you avoid injury and get the help you need if you experience pain.
