Please welcome Dr. Theresa Larson to the Do Great Things Podcast! Theresa Larson (aka) Dr. T is an expert on movement health and a former Marine Corps Engineer Officer and Combat Veteran. With a doctorate in physical therapy, Theresa embarked on an entrepreneurial and personal “Hero’s Journey” into creating workout and therapy programs that help people reduce or eliminate suffering.
We’re talking about a variety of things in this podcast, ranging from Dr. T’s loss of her mother and how that affected and inspired her life, to serving in the Marine Corps as an officer with an eating disorder.
Dr. T ended up taking an early release from the Marine Corp and turning her eating disorder into a completely different direction for her life. She knew that she wanted more than what she was doing and she knew that she wanted to help people and now she had the space to really explore what that direction was.
The direction ended up being going to school for Physical Therapy, starting a solo business 6 months after she got done with her clinicals, and now running a thriving PT practice that helps adaptive athletes find their new normal.
