Alex Piccirillo
PT, DPTMY STORY
Alex was born and raised in New York and moved to Southern California to pursue a degree in Physical Therapy. After visiting his family in California every summer, Alex knew this was where he wanted to live.
Growing up, Alex played sports year-round from soccer to baseball to hockey and winter track (outside in the freezing cold!). Being born with club feet, Alex strived to never take movement and exercise for granted. Sometimes Alex pushed himself too much, which led to frequent injuries. The person who helped him the most throughout these injuries and tough times was his physical therapist; their care and support made him know that he wanted to pursue a physical therapy career and help people in the same way.
Alex believes that treating the person, not just the injury, is crucial to helping them become stronger and healthier versions of themselves.
