Tina, owner of PMC, completed her Associates of Applied Science in Physical Therapy at Carroll Community College and completed her Bachelor’s degree at University of Maryland. She performed clinical field work at Kennedy Kreiger Institute outpatient pediatrics and Kernan Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Hospital spinal cord injury unit, which ignited her passion to work with the pediatric population. Tina has been working in the physical therapy field for over 8 years in multiple clinical settings including outpatient pediatrics, outpatient adult orthopedics, and home health. She has experience treating adult and pediatric neurological conditions, athletic injuries, and medically complex diagnoses.

In recent years, Tina piqued an interest researching sensory integration and the role physical therapy can take in the treatment of sensory processing and related disorders. This research, along with a growing desire to treat her patients in a sensory rich, state of the art, and comforting environment, compelled Tina to open PMC’s doors in March of 2017. “I’m very proud of what PMC has become, and our team of staff here makes PMC a family.”

When not treating patients or greeting new friends at PMC, you’ll likely find Tina researching new equipment, techniques, and strategies to add at PMC to help children succeed with their rehabilitative goals. Tina is passionate about providing families with support, and helping children overcome obstacles to achieve new milestones. “I love breaking through to our kiddos in therapy sessions; when they achieve a new skill or communicate in a new way, I celebrate each accomplishment with them and it inspires that passion yet again!” Tina’s most important motivation is her three young boys (Michael, Mason & Maddox) who you may see swinging around at PMC, and her husband, Brian. She loves spending time with her family hiking, swimming, and going on family vacations.. 

Jess graduated from Broadfording Christian Academy in 2006. She is married with 4 beautiful children– Bailey, Bristol, Wesley and Presley. 

In her words “I have always dreamed of making a difference in the lives of children and I know working at PMC I am a part of something amazing that has brought endless opportunities to children of all abilities. Seeing these children working with our talented therapist and reaching goals they never thought possible is something I can look forward to everyday! It will always be my goal to show every child and their family compassion and support."

Amy's experience and skillset are a huge asset to PMC, and specifically, our Frederick clinic!

Amy "LOVES working in pediatrics." In her words, "it was a huge change for me to transition from adults to pediatrics, but I have never regretted the decision to switch.  I love the challenges that each day brings and the personalities of all the kiddos I get to treat.  They have changed my life and re-fueled my passion for physical therapy.  Helping them to regain or achieve new skills is the best part of my job! My passion within pediatrics is still orthopedics. I love working with musculoskeletal injuries and getting kids back to their sports and/or recreational activities.  I also love babies.  My own kiddos are grown so getting to help the wee ones just warms my heart."

Outside of work, Amy enjoys spending time with her family.  Amy is the proud Mama of 4 children, Cade and Blake (who are away at college) and Peyton and Kenadie (who attend Tuscarora High School,) who are  two sets of boy-girl twins...crazy! My favorite thing to do is watch them all play the sports they love.  I love to travel to see our families, walk my big dog, Mack, with my husband, and play volleyball.  I also enjoy spending time at the gym and reading.

Tiffany joined the PMC team after "seeing how awesome the staff was with my daughter and how much they helped her, I was excited for the opportunity to work at such an amazing place." Tiffany's knowledge of the ever-changing insurance would is a tremendous skillset, as she is able to patients navigate the frustrating insurance world. Tiffany gets much enjoyable out of her ability to help. In her words, "for me, being able to mark completed claims off my accounts receivable list is very rewarding. I know how much I have accomplished or where I need to concentrate my efforts next." 

Outside of work, Tiffany enjoys spending time outdoors, especially when camping and coaching soccer. She has a creative streak and enjoys working on various craft projects, specifically those involving her Cricut machine. Last (but certainly not least!) Tiffany enjoys traveling to Chincoteague to visit her family.

Tiffany firmly believes that a  "positive mindset brings positive things!"

My family has been impacted in such a positive way by PMC and it is such a blessing to have the opportunity to be a part of something so meaningful on a daily basis."
