Sandra "Sandy" graduated with a Masters in Physical Therapy from the University of Maryland in 1996. Since then, Sandy has worked in various settings including post surgical rehab, stroke rehab, nursing home and outpatient orthopaedics. Working in such a variety of settings has taught Sandy how to really listen to her patients' concerns and syptoms. This has not only helped Sandy be a better therapist, but also enables the client to realize they have a large role in the "getting well" process. The one-on-one therapy offered at Advantage Physical Therapy allows Sandy to perform the manual therapy which she feels is missing in many other therapy clinics today.
