Sean Taylor PTA

Physical Therapist Assistant

I grew up in Montana and have always been very active in sports and played basketball up until college when I tore my ACL. This began my interest in sports medicine and physical therapy. I attended Montana State University in Bozeman where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science. I then moved to Great Falls, MT where I completed the PTA program. I finished up my last clinical rotation in Arizona and have been here ever since. 

Outside of physical therapy, I enjoy watching and attending sporting events, going to concerts, and playing golf when I get the chance. I have loved getting to explore Arizona over the past few years with my daughter and am always looking for something new to do over the weekends.
