My name is Colleen Ward, and I am originally from Nantucket, Massachusetts. I graduated from the University of Connecticut Physical Therapy program in 1997. After completing an internship in the southwest, I fell in love with the weather and lifestyle.

 

I have been a Physical Therapist in the Phoenix Valley for 24 years working in a multitude of settings. Being a lifelong athlete with over a decade of gymnastics, competing on a collegiate level in Field hockey and Cross country, training for marathons and triathlons, I have ended up on the patient side of physical therapy more times than I can remember. I have always been fascinated by the human body and the healing process. Practicing over the past 24 years, I have gained many skill sets that I use to provide pain relief and restore patients bodies to optimal function.

 

I have over two decades of experience in neuromuscular therapy, orthopedics, aquatics, pre and post surgical care, Athletic training, personal training, yoga, pilates, kinesio taping, nutritional education, trigger point therapy, heachache and TMJ relief, cold laser treatments, postural training, ergonomic evaluations for work settings, and golf swing/posture evaluations and treatments.

 

In my free time, I love running, hiking, biking, weight lifting, yoga/pilates, reading, enjoying new restaurants, traveling with my family and friends, cheering on my children at volleyball and football games, watching pro-football games, supporting local businesses and dog rescues and serving my church. I am on this amazing journey with the love of my life and I have five beautiful children, amazing friends, a business that I love and an unshakable faith.
