The faculty were passionate about the profession and student success, which was very inspiring to see as a student. Plowman was commissioned in the U. Navy as an active duty physical therapist after completing the DPT program at TWU and served for just shy of eight years.
During her tenure, she served at a large medical center, several small and medium-sized clinics and on board an aircraft carrier. After leaving the Navy, she started a small private practice, Pain Boss Physical Therapy, providing telehealth physical therapy services to those with chronic pain and mobility impairments.
From all of my experiences, what I love about the profession the most is this versatility. I have worked with everyone from little kids to geriatric military retirees, from receptionists to fighter pilots and Navy SEALs.
