About Core Values Physical Therapy and Wellness

Rebecca is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a decade of experience across private practice and hospital settings. As an athlete and a mother who battled chronic pain for over a decade, she founded Core Values Physical Therapy and Wellness to build the kind of care she wished had existed: one-on-one, 55-minute sessions that blend clinical reasoning, exercise, and manual therapy, tailored to each person's goals.

Raised in South Florida by a medical family, Rebecca developed her passion for sports and medicine early. She played multiple sports growing up, notably water polo, and graduated Cum Laude with a bachelor's in exercise physiology from the University of Florida in 2007. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Boston University in 2010, graduating with honors.

Rebecca's clinical experience spans sports medicine, orthopedics, chronic pain, pelvic health, and post-operative care. At Core Values, she brings that full range to bear on helping active adults return to the lives and activities they love.
