Corey Tucker
PTA
Area of physical therapy or work with a particular type of patient: Outpatient orthopedic care is where I feel that I thrive the most. From the pediatric to the geriatric population, I enjoy assisting all with rehab from a wide variety of injuries/issues. I also have extensive experience with post-surgical patients and love watching them progress back to their normal daily routines.
Why I became a PTA: I changed my career path a couple times while in college but once I got the first taste of being in the physical therapy field during an unexpected internship, I knew where God wanted me to be. I now have a job where I get to make an impact on someone every singe day whether that be physically, mentally or spiritually.

Personal Information:
I am a Kentucky boy born and raised. I grew up in the country with a family that loved to hunt, fish and build cars just to crash them. I graduated from Murray State University in 2014, and the next fall I was accepted into a PTA program in Louisville, KY. I became a certified PTA in 2017 and moved to Texas in the Fall of 2018 for a beautiful girl named Hannah who I had only been dating for 4 months. I proposed to her 2 short months later at Reunion Tower in Dallas and I am now blessed to call her my wife. We have two awesome boys named Tatum and Baker. They are 15 months apart, so we’ve heard on multiple occasions, “You look like you’ve got your hands full”. It is a busy life, but I wouldn’t trade it away for anything!
