Bio
Hi! My name is Brianna Carri, and I’ve been a physical therapist for about eight years now. I grew up very active in sports, mainly gymnastics and diving, and had various injuries both from these sports as well as other reasons. I spent much of my childhood in PT. My mom used to joke I would be a PT, and she was right! By age 14 I knew it was what I wanted to do. 11 surgeries later, I now apply my personal experiences as a patient in my treatment to relate to my patients and give empathy. I absolutely love what I do and wouldn’t change anything!
