Part of the job of a physical therapist is asking patients about their goals.
“I can’t arbitrarily make up goals if that’s not what is important to them,” says Dr. Kelly Oschwald ’12. “I’m focusing the treatment on what’s important to the patient.”
What about Oschwald’s goals for herself?
“I want to follow the patient’s journey, not just see them once or every few months. I truly like working with people through their rehab journey,” she says.
The alumna from UNC Greensboro’s School of Health and Human Sciences is now providing that kind of holistic care in Pinehurst, North Carolina as an orthopedic and pelvic health therapist, treating the muscles that are part of the human body’s core.
