Alex Wilson, PTA
Physical Therapist Assistant
Alex was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, and moved to North Carolina at the age of seven. In 2013, she relocated to Austin, Texas, and began her college education at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, where she studied biology.
A few semesters into college, Alex underwent back surgery—an experience that became a major turning point in her life. Her own recovery introduced her to the impact physical therapy can have on a person’s strength, mobility, and confidence. That experience inspired her to pursue a career where she could help others through their own recovery journeys.
Alex went on to attend Eastern Florida State College, where she earned her Associate degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant in May 2021. Shortly afterward, she passed her board exam and became a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant.
Her personal experience as a patient, combined with her professional training, continues to shape the compassionate and encouraging approach she brings to patient care each day.
