Area of physical therapy or work with a particular type of patient:  I enjoy orthopedic, back, neck and spinal rehabilitation; however, I enjoy all aspects of outpatient therapy ranging from geriatric balance and deconditioning issues to athletic injuries.

Profession History:  I began my career at Navarro Regional Hospital’s Physical Therapy clinic in Corsicana, TX. I then Directed Medical Arts’ Physical Therapy location in Fairfield, TX, which I purchased in 2001. In 2004, I added Employment Testing services and a small Fitness Center, so we became Lott Physical Therapy and Fitness Center. In 2011, I convinced my wife to open a second location in Corsicana, TX.
