What do you feel separates you from the rest of the professionals in your industry?:
I am different from my peers because of the unique combination of skills I have collected over the span of my career. The in-depth knowledge of human physiology, combined with the skills of manual orthopedic physical therapy allows me to strive for solving the patient's problem rather than 'placing a band-aid on it.' Once the original problem is assessed, my skills in manual therapy, pilates-based rehabilitation, segmental core stabilization and pain management complete the task.
What has been the most outstanding thing you have done thus far in your career?:
My greatest achievement has been to start my own private practice physical therapy center.

Ms. Bennett would like to solve problems concerning insurance issues with physical therapy patients.
