Camila Sweeney
DPTMY STORY
Camila was born and raised in Brazil, where she first encountered physical therapy after spraining her ankle playing volleyball. Thanks to the dedicated care she received, she recovered quickly and was able to compete in an international competition soon after. That experience, marked by genuine support and encouragement from her physical therapists, sparked her deep interest in the profession.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from Universidade Cidade de São Paulo in Brazil. Later, after completing a fellowship opportunity at the University of Pittsburgh, she pursued a Master’s degree in Kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton, where she also worked as a Graduate Assistant on a research project focused on fall prevention in older adults.
After stepping away from her career to care for her children, Camila decided to transfer her physical therapy license from Brazil. She is now thrilled to help others return to the activities they love and enhance their quality of life.
