Tammie Ligmanowski,
PTA
Physical Therapist Assistant
Focused on good health and my patients
“My education has served as the backbone of my career in
physical therapy. For as long as I can remember, I have been interested
in learning about health, exercise, therapy and rehabilitation.
That I can now practice what I’ve studied all those years
is the result of the focus I’ve maintained during my education.
Each patient I see receives my undivided attention, and no detail
is overlooked. ”
AAS: Cuyahoga Community College, Cleveland, OH
Teaching and honored through the
years
“Keeping up with my profession is extremely important to
me. One of the most rewarding aspects of my career has been the
opportunity to teach others the techniques I’ve learned over
the years. And although passing on this knowledge is its own reward,
I am proud to have been honored by my peers over the years.”
