Millie Crawford, MPT, is a physical therapist at DOAR Central. After studying Health and Exercise Science at Virginia Commonwealth University, Millie earned a Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) from Old Dominion University.
Millie became a physical therapist after reading a story about a a boy who had third degree burns all over his body, and needed physical therapy to aid in his recovery. Millie thought, “I want to be the person who helps someone learn to walk again.”
Millie’s clinical interests include working back and neck patients. She incorporates manual therapy whenever beneficial for the patient, and always focuses on patient education with exercise. Millie’s favorite part of her job is “when people are pleased with their treatment, especially when they came in expecting it wouldn’t help.”
One of Millie’s patients, says, “She’s an excellent therapist that is great with her hands! She’ll work you to death, but it will help you in the long run. Millie has me doing things that I know I couldn’t do before!”
Outside of work, Millie stays busy with church, hobbies, and her family.
