Laura Boraas, PT, DPT
My specialties:
- Physical therapy
Professional interests:
- acute care
- Aquatic therapy
- Geriatrics
I strongly believe in the concept of whole-person care; it is important to me to get to know every patient I see as an individual instead of just a diagnosis. This allows me to know what is important to you, what your passions are, and what motivates you to reach their goals!
If I weren't a health care provider I'd be something that allows me to be creative, like an artist. I have to be hands-on!
I become a provider after I had ACL reconstruction and a meniscus repair. My physical therapist helped me get back to doing all the things I wanted to do. I was so grateful and wanted to be that person for others.
A challenge of this career that I enjoy is having patients take an active role in their own healthcare. Self-efficacy is so important! I like giving patients the tools and the confidence to say, "Yes, I can do this!"
